"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nhandshake: Require admin permission for DONE command\n\nACCEPT and DONE are the two downcalls of the handshake genl\nfamily, both intended for use by the trusted handshake agent\n(tlshd). ACCEPT already requires GENL_ADMIN_PERM; DONE has\nno privilege check at all.\n\nThe fd-lookup in handshake_nl_done_doit() only confirms that\nsome pending handshake request exists for the supplied sockfd;\nit does not authenticate the sender. An unprivileged process\nthat guesses or observes a valid sockfd can therefore submit\na DONE with HANDSHAKE_A_DONE_STATUS == 0, leaving the kernel\nconsumer to proceed as if the handshake succeeded. A non-zero\nstatus on a forged DONE tears down a legitimate in-flight\nhandshake before tlshd can report its real result."

"value": "AV:L - Exploitation requires sending a HANDSHAKE_CMD_DONE generic-netlink message via a local netlink socket to handshake_nl_done_doit(); although nfsd and nvmet-tcp are network-facing, the vulnerable control-plane downcall is not reachable from remote packets.\nAC:L - Once a process holds a sockfd for a socket with a pending handshake request, forging DONE with status 0 or a failure status is a single deterministic netlink operation; the commit describes sockfd guessing/observation as sufficient and no special timing beyond normal concurrency is required.\nPR:L - Before the fix, HANDSHAKE_CMD_DONE lacked GENL_ADMIN_PERM while ACCEPT required it, so any unprivileged local user with netlink access could invoke the handler without CAP_NET_ADMIN in the initial user namespace or any other elevated capability.\nUI:N - Exploitation does not require victim interaction such as opening files or mounting filesystems; the attacker sends a forged DONE netlink message directly to complete or abort an in-flight kernel handshake.\nS:U - Impact is confined to kernel TLS handshake state for local socket consumers (NFS RPC-over-TLS, NVMe-oF TCP TLS); it does not cross a VM, container, or IOMMU security boundary into a different authority.\nC:H - A forged DONE with HANDSHAKE_A_DONE_STATUS==0 makes kernel consumers proceed as if tlshd completed TLS successfully, bypassing X.509/PSK peer verification on NFS and NVMe-oF TCP sessions and undermining confidentiality of protected network storage traffic.\nI:H - The attacker can supply arbitrary HANDSHAKE_A_DONE_REMOTE_AUTH peer-identity values with a forged success, causing nfsd/nvmet to mark connections as TLS-authenticated and continue I/O under false security assumptions, corrupting integrity of access-control decisions.\nA:H - A forged DONE with non-zero status calls handshake_complete() with an error, tearing down legitimate in-flight handshakes before tlshd reports the real result and denying or disrupting TLS session establishment on NFS/NVMe-oF TCP services."
