a malicious NVMe-oF target can deliver crafted FDP data over TCP/RDMA to any host already using remote NVMe storage, which is the highest-impact reachable deployment.\nAC:L - An attacker controlling the NVMe endpoint fully sets fdpcidx and numfdpc in protocol responses and can reliably make fdpcidx equal numfdpc+1, walk one descriptor past the valid list, and hit the out-of-bounds read without races or victim-specific heap layout.\nPR:N - Exploitation needs no local account or capabilities on the victim; a remote malicious/compromised NVMe-oF target (or physical device inserted by an attacker) triggers parsing during connect/rescan/AEN-driven namespace scans without further local authorization.\nUI:N - No victim user action is required at exploit time because namespace scanning and AEN-triggered rescans run automatically in kernel workqueues once a controller is present, and a remote target can force rescans with Notice Namespace Changed events.\nS:U - Impact is confined to kernel memory and block-layer metadata on the host parsing the malicious device responses; it does not cross a VM, container, or IOMMU security boundary into a separate authority.\nC:H - Accepting fdpcidx=numfdpc+1 lets the descriptor walk advance past the last valid FDP configuration and then reads desc->nrg and desc->runs out of bounds, leaking adjacent kvmalloc/heap contents or attacker-crafted bytes from beyond the valid descriptor array.\nI:H - The out-of-bounds descriptor fields are copied into info->runs and influence queue write_stream_granularity limits, giving attacker-controlled modification of kernel block-layer state from memory corruption primitives that can be chained beyond a simple crash.\nA:H - If the out-of-bounds descriptor pointer lies past the allocated FDP log buffer, accessing desc->nrg/desc->runs can fault the kernel (oops/panic); even successful parsing still represents unsafe memory access with high availability risk under attacker control." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/nvme/host/core.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "30b5f20bb2ddab013035399e5c7e6577da49320a", "lessThan": "5e406928404d67a8da8aa3ae21732e1ea1a04118", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "30b5f20bb2ddab013035399e5c7e6577da49320a", "lessThan": "5d0e7d2af884b91329235abb16652ae4eead8079", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "30b5f20bb2ddab013035399e5c7e6577da49320a", "lessThan": "0967074f6830718fd2597404ef119bddd0dbfd00", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/nvme/host/core.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.16", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.16", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.40", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.1.5", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.16", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.40" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.16", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.5" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.16", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5e406928404d67a8da8aa3ae21732e1ea1a04118" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5d0e7d2af884b91329235abb16652ae4eead8079" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0967074f6830718fd2597404ef119bddd0dbfd00" } ], "title": "nvme: fix FDP fdpcidx bounds check", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2026-74361", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "yes" }, { "Technical Impact": "total" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2026-10-16T18:54:29.350780Z" } } } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2026-10-16T18:55:35.477Z" } } ] } }
