A small defensive change landed upstream this month that closes a straightforward—but impactful—NULL-pointer weakness in the Linux kernel’s NVMe-over-TCP target code. Left unpatched, the bug allows crafted NVMe/TCP traffic to cause a kernel NULL-pointer dereference and crash the host, producing...
The Linux kernel vulnerability tracked as CVE-2025-38264 affects the NVMe-over-TCP host driver (nvme‑tcp) and was fixed upstream by defensive checks in the nvme TCP code; Microsoft’s public advisory names Azure Linux as a Microsoft product that “includes this open‑source library and is therefore...
A subtle bounds-checking gap in the Linux NVMe over TCP path has been assigned CVE-2025-21927 and fixed upstream: a missing validation of the PDU header length in nvme_tcp_recv_pdu can allow a malformed target to trigger a header-digest routine that reads and writes past the allocated buffer...
