{"id":"CVE-2026-89481","summary":"nvme-tcp: fix host memory disclosure on R2T for a read command","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnvme-tcp: fix host memory disclosure on R2T for a read command\n\nnvme_tcp_handle_r2t() does not check the direction of the request the\nR2T refers to. A malicious controller can send an R2T for a READ and\nthe host will answer it: nvme_tcp_setup_h2c_data_pdu() builds the\nH2CData header and nvme_tcp_try_send_data() sends the request's data\nbuffer. That buffer is the READ destination, so its contents go to the\ncontroller.\n\nThe command then completes normally and nothing is logged.\n\nAgainst a test controller that answers every READ with an R2T, a 4096\nbyte buffered read returned all 4096 bytes, split over two R2Ts. The\npages contained stale kernel data, including an array of struct page\npointers.\n\nReject an R2T for a request that is not a write.","modified":"2026-09-25T18:27:18.396059472Z","published":"2026-09-11T19:43:36.589Z","related":["openSUSE-SU-2026:11880-1"],"database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/89xxx/CVE-2026-89481.json","cna_assigner":"Linux"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3a0b05145053a5fad1a2ddb4e4d87b07385e63e5"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3b3d27670c0c890ba7cf1bc3614cab61bde6d25c"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/49a4dcf57608ebf6432dbcb203ed25e7ed581445"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6efbc52237facda35d2d874fe1765bb4839275d8"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a4c3c7310156493797c920b10d8648c07aa05403"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bc4013c7cce58d46f792c8c87bc8c8318a70190e"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/89xxx/CVE-2026-89481.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-89481"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"3f2304f8c6d6ed97849057bd16fee99e434ca796"},{"fixed":"49a4dcf57608ebf6432dbcb203ed25e7ed581445"},{"fixed":"bc4013c7cce58d46f792c8c87bc8c8318a70190e"},{"fixed":"a4c3c7310156493797c920b10d8648c07aa05403"},{"fixed":"3b3d27670c0c890ba7cf1bc3614cab61bde6d25c"},{"fixed":"3a0b05145053a5fad1a2ddb4e4d87b07385e63e5"},{"fixed":"6efbc52237facda35d2d874fe1765bb4839275d8"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-89481.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"5.0.0"},{"fixed":"6.1.188"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.2.0"},{"fixed":"6.6.157"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.7.0"},{"fixed":"6.12.109"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.13.0"},{"fixed":"6.18.50"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.19.0"},{"fixed":"7.2.4"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-89481.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"}]}
