CVE-2026-64319 — nvmet-auth: validate reply message payload bounds against transfer length

Affected: Linux

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

nvmet-auth: validate reply message payload bounds against transfer length

nvmet_auth_reply() accesses the variable-length rval[] array using attacker-controlled hl (hash length) and dhvlen (DH value length) fields without verifying they fit within the allocated buffer of tl bytes.

A malicious NVMe-oF initiator can craft a DHCHAP_REPLY message with a small transfer length but large hl/dhvlen values, causing out-of-bounds heap reads when the target processes the DH public key (rval + 2*hl) or performs the host response memcmp.

With DH authentication configured, the OOB pointer is passed directly to sg_init_one() and read by crypto_kpp_compute_shared_secret(), reaching up to 526 bytes past the buffer. This is exploitable pre-authentication.

Add bounds validation ensuring sizeof(*data) + 2*hl + dhvlen <= tl before any access to the variable-length fields.

It was discovered that some Arm processors could complete a broadcast translation lookaside buffer (TLB) invalidation before memory writes made through the invalidated translation were globally observed. A local attacker could possibly use this to write to memory after permission to do so had been revoked, bypassing memory protections or escalating privileges. (CVE-2025-10263)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - ARM64 architecture; - User-space API (UAPI); - Kernel build system; - ARM32 architecture; - RISC-V architecture; - S390 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - Compute Acceleration Framework; - Intel NPU Driver; - ACPI drivers; - Android drivers; - Drivers core; - Compressed RAM block device driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - Character device driver; - Hardware random number generator core; - CPU frequency scaling framework; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - Buffer Sharing and Synchronization framework; - Intel Stratix 10 firmware drivers; - FPGA Framework; - GPIO subsystem; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - CoreSight HW tracing drivers; - I2C subsystem; - IIO subsystem; - IIO ADC drivers; - InfiniBand drivers; - Input Device core drivers; - Input Device (Mouse) drivers; - IOMMU subsystem; - IRQ chip drivers; - M…
