In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nvme-tcp: check the data direction of a C2HData PDU

nvme_tcp_handle_c2h_data() finds the request by command id and checks
that it has a payload, but it does not check that the command asked for
data to be read.  A controller that answers a write command with C2HData
therefore reaches nvme_tcp_recv_data(), where _copy_to_iter() hits
WARN_ON_ONCE(i->data_source) and returns 0.  The receive path turns that
into -EFAULT and resets the controller.

No data is copied, so this is not memory corruption.  What a controller
gets is a kernel warning it can raise at will, which is fatal on a host
booted with panic_on_warn.

The send path already knows the direction - it consults rq_data_dir()
when it builds a command - and nvme_tcp_handle_r2t() checks the length
and the offset of the request it names.  The C2HData path does not check
the direction at all.

Reject a C2HData PDU whose command is not a read.  Rejecting it fails
the command and resets the controller, as the neighbouring check in this
function does; what goes away is the warning.
