malicious or compromised iSCSI target can trigger the bug by sending a crafted SCSI Command Response over the standard iSCSI/TCP session to a Linux kernel initiator, with no local access required on the victim host.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the response PDU fields (datalen, sense length, CHECK_CONDITION status) and can reliably set datalen equal to senselen so the flawed bounds check passes and stale conn->data bytes are copied into the sense buffer.\nPR:N - Exploitation requires only the ability to act as the iSCSI target on the network; the attacker needs no local account, capabilities, or privileges on the victim system initiating the connection.\nUI:N - Once an iSCSI session exists, the leak is triggered automatically on SCSI command responses with no further victim action; the attacker does not rely on a user opening a file, clicking a link, or performing any interactive step at exploit time.\nS:U - The flaw discloses kernel memory contents into a SCSI sense buffer returned within the same host security domain; it does not cross VM, hypervisor, or IOMMU boundaries and is a standard kernel-to-userspace information leak.\nC:H - The out-of-bounds memcpy reads up to two bytes per response from stale conn->data kernel heap memory into sc->sense_buffer, which is copied to userspace via SCSI completion, ioctl, and BSG paths, enabling repeated kernel information disclosure.\nI:N - The vulnerability is a read-only out-of-bounds memcpy from the receive buffer into the sense buffer; it does not corrupt kernel structures, overwrite memory, or provide a write or code-execution primitive.\nA:N - The bug causes no kernel panic, oops, or hang; invalid responses are handled gracefully and exploitation only leaks data into the sense buffer without disrupting system availability." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":
