CVE-2025-21927
HIGHLinux Kernel 5.0-6.12.18, 6.13.0-6.13.6 - Out-of-bounds Write in nvme-tcp Recv PDU Header Length Validation
Title source: llmDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvme-tcp: fix potential memory corruption in nvme_tcp_recv_pdu() nvme_tcp_recv_pdu() doesn't check the validity of the header length. When header digests are enabled, a target might send a packet with an invalid header length (e.g. 255), causing nvme_tcp_verify_hdgst() to access memory outside the allocated area and cause memory corruptions by overwriting it with the calculated digest. Fix this by rejecting packets with an unexpected header length.
