},
"scenarios": [
{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:N - The vulnerable code is the NVMe-over-TCP host driver's PDU receive path, parsing an R2T PDU sent by a remote NVMe-oF target over TCP (port 4420); the malicious input arrives purely over the network from a compromised/rogue target or an on-path attacker.\nAC:L - The target fully controls PDU content and timing — placing two R2T PDUs for the same command_id in a single TCP segment guarantees both are processed inside one nvme_tcp_recv_skb() pass with no send-path progress between them, creating the llist cycle deterministically with no race to win and no memory-layout dependency.\nPR:N - NVMe/TCP requires no authentication by default (TLS and DH-HMAC-CHAP are optional, off in stock configs), so the remote peer needs zero privileges or credentials on the victim host — it simply answers I/O it is already being sent.\nUI:N - No victim action is required; once the host is connected to the target, ordinary filesystem/block I/O generates the in-flight commands and the malicious target triggers the bug on its own by replying with duplicate R2T PDUs.\nS:U - The corruption and the resulting hang are confined to the host kernel's own memory and scheduling authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Beyond the list corruption, duplicate queueing lets the RX path reset req->state/offset/pdu_len while the TX path is consuming the request, desynchronizing req->iter so nvme_tcp_req_cur_page() reads past the bvec array and sock_sendmsg() splices unintended kernel pages directly to the attacker-controlled socket.\nI:H - Attacker-controlled input produces kernel linked-list pointer corruption (double llist_add plus repeated list_add of an already-linked entry into send_list) and lets an in-flight request's PDU header, ttag, and iterator state be rewritten mid-transfer, which is memory/state corruption leverageable for further control over kernel structures.\nA:H - The injected cycle makes nvme_tcp_process_req_list() spin forever in the nvme_tcp_wq kworker while holding queue->send_mutex with no cond_resched(), producing a CPU soft lockup, RCU stalls, and a permanently wedged storage queue — a deterministic, unauthenticated remote kernel hang."
