Out-of-bounds read in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64319

Vulnerability identifier: #VU139657

CSH Severity: Medium

CVSS v4: 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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64319

CWE-ID: CWE-125

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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.
