The 64-bit offset is then\nadded to a small kzalloc'd buffer that holds the discovery log page\nand the result is passed straight to nvmet_copy_to_sgl(), which\nmemcpy()s data_len bytes out to the host with no source-side bound\ncheck:\n\n u64 offset = nvmet_get_log_page_offset(req->cmd); /* 64-bit host */\n size_t data_len = nvmet_get_log_page_len(req->cmd); /* 32-bit host */\n ...\n if (offset & 0x3) { ... } /* only check */\n ...\n alloc_len = sizeof(*hdr) + entry_size * discovery_log_entries(req);\n buffer = kzalloc(alloc_len, GFP_KERNEL);\n ...\n status = nvmet_copy_to_sgl(req, 0, buffer + offset, data_len);\n\nThe Discovery controller is unauthenticated -- nvmet_host_allowed()\nreturns true unconditionally for the discovery subsystem -- so the call\nis reachable pre-authentication by any TCP/RDMA/FC peer that can reach\nthe nvmet target.
