In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-auth: validate reply message payload bounds against transfer length
nvmet auth reply() accesses the variable-length rval[] array using attacker-controlled hl (hash length) and dhvlen (DH value length) fields without verifying they fit within the allocated buffer of tl bytes.
A malicious NVMe-oF initiator can craft a DHCHAP REPLY message with a small transfer length but large hl/dhvlen values, causing out-of-bounds heap reads when the target processes the DH public key (rval + 2*hl) or performs the host response memcmp.
With DH authentication configured, the OOB pointer is passed directly to sg init one() and read by crypto kpp compute shared secret(), reaching up to 526 bytes past the buffer. This is exploitable pre-authentication.
Add bounds validation ensuring sizeof(data) + 2hl + dhvlen <= tl before any access to the variable-length fields.
