Description Mauro Matteo Cascella 2023-11-16 11:24:33 UTC

An out-of-bounds read issue was found in the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel. A remote attacker could send a crafted TCP packet triggering a heap-based buffer overflow that results in kmalloc data to be printed (and potentially leaked) to the kernel ring buffer (dmesg).
