{"id":"AZL-102626","summary":"CVE-2026-90230 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnvmet: fix heap out-of-bounds read in nvmet_auth_negotiate()\n\nnvmet_execute_auth_send() allocates the DH-HMAC-CHAP message buffer with\nthe host-supplied transfer length (tl) and hands it to\nnvmet_auth_negotiate() without passing tl along. nvmet_auth_negotiate()\nthen reads the negotiate header and, for each of the halen hash\nidentifiers and dhlen DH group identifiers, indexes into the fixed\nidlist[60] array (hashes at idlist[0..halen), groups at idlist[30..]).\n\nNeither the transfer length nor halen/dhlen is validated. A malicious or\nnon-conformant host can report a tl smaller than the negotiate structure,\nor a halen/dhlen larger than the array (both are u8, up to 255), making\nthe loops read past the end of the allocated buffer (heap out-of-bounds\nread). The sibling nvmet_auth_reply() already validates tl against the\nstructure size; the negotiate path did not.\n\nPass tl into nvmet_auth_negotiate(), reject a tl that does not cover the\nnegotiate data plus one full protocol descriptor, and reject halen/dhlen\nlarger than NVME_AUTH_DHCHAP_MAX_DH_IDS.","modified":"2026-09-19T05:33:49Z","published":"2026-09-17T17:17:18Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-90230"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-90230"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.150.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-102626.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
