"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnvmet: fix memory leak of bio integrity\n\nIf nvmet receives commands with metadata there is a continuous memory\nleak of kmalloc-128 slab or more precisely bio->bi_integrity.\n\nSince commit bf4c89fc8797 (\"block: don't call bio_uninit from bio_endio\")\neach user of bio_init has to use bio_uninit as well. Otherwise the bio\nintegrity is not getting free. Nvmet uses bio_init for inline bios.\n\nUninit the inline bio to complete deallocation of integrity in bio."

"scenarios": [
{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:N - The leak is driven entirely by NVMe commands received by the nvmet target from a remote host, and the affected metadata/PI path is only reachable via nvmet-rdma (the sole transport setting NVMF_METADATA_SUPPORTED), which runs over routable RoCEv2/iWARP fabrics. No local access to the target is needed.\nAC:L - Every read/write command carrying protection information leaks a bip allocation with 100% reliability — no race, no memory-layout dependency, and the attacker fully controls the I/O size that selects the vulnerable inline-bio path. Repetition to exhaust memory is unconstrained.\nPR:N - NVMe-oF requires no authentication by default; the target admits hosts based on a client-supplied, trivially spoofable host NQN or with allow_any_host enabled, so an unauthenticated remote peer can establish a queue and issue I/O.\nUI:N - The leak occurs purely from processing attacker-sent NVMe I/O commands; no action by any local user or administrator is required once the target is serving.\nS:U - The leaked kernel slab memory and its consequences are confined to the kernel of the target host; no security boundary such as a hypervisor or IOMMU domain is crossed.\nC:N - The orphaned bio_integrity_payload is never re-read or exposed, and no out-of-bounds or uninitialized data is returned to the attacker, so there is no information disclosure.\nI:N - bio_init() resets bi_integrity to NULL on reuse, so the leak causes no use-after-free, double-free, or any other memory corruption — no kernel data is modified.\nA:H - The leak is unbounded and driven at line-rate I/O speed by the remote attacker, so sustained traffic exhausts kernel slab memory leading to OOM kills, allocation failures and system hang/panic on the storage target."
