"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnvme-tcp: fix host memory disclosure on R2T for a read command\n\nnvme_tcp_handle_r2t() does not check the direction of the request the\nR2T refers to. A malicious controller can send an R2T for a READ and\nthe host will answer it: nvme_tcp_setup_h2c_data_pdu() builds the\nH2CData header and nvme_tcp_try_send_data() sends the request's data\nbuffer. That buffer is the READ destination, so its contents go to the\ncontroller.\n\nThe command then completes normally and nothing is logged.\n\nAgainst a test controller that answers every READ with an R2T, a 4096\nbyte buffered read returned all 4096 bytes, split over two R2Ts. The\npages contained stale kernel data, including an array of struct page\npointers.\n\nReject an R2T for a request that is not a write."

"value": "AV:N - The bug is in the NVMe-over-TCP host PDU receive path (nvme_tcp_recv_skb → nvme_tcp_handle_r2t). A remote NVMe-oF target or on-path attacker sends an R2T PDU over TCP (port 4420) and the host splices the READ destination buffer back over that socket.\nAC:L - A malicious controller that replies to an in-flight READ with a well-formed R2T always triggers the leak; the reporter reproduced a full 4096-byte disclosure with a test target. No race, special memory layout, or rare config beyond CONFIG_NVME_TCP is required.\nPR:N - NVMe/TCP requires no authentication by default (TLS and DH-HMAC-CHAP are optional and off in stock configs), so the remote peer needs no privileges or credentials on the victim host; it simply answers I/O the host is already sending.\nUI:N - No victim action is required at exploit time; once the host is connected (including via nvmf-autoconnect at boot), ordinary filesystem or block I/O issues READ commands and the malicious target triggers the leak by replying with R2T PDUs.\nS:U - The disclosure is of the host kernel's own I/O buffers and page-cache pages to the connected target. No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - nvme_tcp_try_send_data() splices the READ destination pages to the attacker. Those pages hold stale kernel memory (reproduced: 4096 bytes including struct page pointers). Every subsequent READ can leak another MDTS-sized buffer of recycled kernel pages.\nI:N - The host only transmits existing buffer contents; the bug does not write attacker-controlled data into kernel memory, corrupt kernel structures, or provide a write or control-flow hijack primitive.\nA:N - The malformed R2T path completes the command successfully with nothing logged; the reporter observed a silent disclosure with no oops, panic, hang, or other availability impact."
