CVE-2024-41079

  3. CVE-2024-41079
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmet: always initialize cqe.result The spec doesn't mandate that the first two double words (aka results) for the command queue entry need to be set to 0 when they are not used (not specified). Though, the target implemention returns 0 for TCP and FC but not for RDMA. Let's make RDMA behave the same and thus explicitly initializing the result field. This prevents leaking any data from the stack.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: nvmet: inicializar siempre cqe.result La especificación no exige que las dos primeras palabras dobles (también conocidas como resultados) para la entrada de la cola de comandos deban establecerse en 0 cuando no lo están usado (no especificado). Sin embargo, la implementación de destino devuelve 0 para TCP y FC, pero no para RDMA. Hagamos que RDMA se comporte igual y así inicialicemos explícitamente el campo de resultado. Esto evita la fuga de datos de la pila.
