Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-89482)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of C2HData requests in the NVMe/TCP receive path when handling C2HData for a WRITE_ZEROES command with a residual iterator on the same tag. A remote attacker can send a C2HData request to trigger a wild memory write and cause a denial of service.
