  "summary": "nvmet-auth: reject short AUTH_RECEIVE buffers",
  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnvmet-auth: reject short AUTH_RECEIVE buffers\n\nnvmet_execute_auth_receive() trusts the AUTH_RECEIVE allocation length\nafter checking only that it is nonzero and matches the transfer length.\nIn the SUCCESS1 and FAILURE1/default states, that lets a remote NVMe-oF\ninitiator reach the fixed-size DH-HMAC-CHAP response builders with a\nkmalloc() buffer shorter than the response, so nvmet_auth_success1() and\nnvmet_auth_failure1() write past the allocation; both only WARN_ON the\nshort length and then format the message anyway.\n\nImpact: A remote NVMe-oF initiator with access to an auth-enabled target\ncan trigger a 16-byte heap out-of-bounds write via a one-byte\nAUTH_RECEIVE allocation length.\n\nCompute the minimum response length for the current DH-HMAC-CHAP step in\nnvmet_auth_receive_data_len() and report a zero data length when the\nhost-supplied allocation length is shorter, so the existing zero-length\ncheck in nvmet_execute_auth_receive() rejects the command before any\nbuilder runs. The SUCCESS1 minimum is sizeof(struct\nnvmf_auth_dhchap_success1_data) plus the HMAC hash length, because the\nresponse hash is written into the rval[] flexible-array tail, so the\nminimum is state dependent rather than a flat sizeof. CHALLENGE keeps its\nexisting variable-length guard in nvmet_auth_challenge().\n\nThis is reachable only when in-band DH-HMAC-CHAP authentication is\nconfigured on the target.",
