CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in nvmet_auth_reply() when processing a crafted DHCHAP_REPLY message. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted authentication reply message with inconsistent hash and DH value lengths to disclose sensitive information.
Exploitation is possible pre-authentication when DH authentication is configured.
