nvme tcp

About this tag
The nvme tcp tag covers discussions about NVMe over TCP (nvme-tcp), a transport protocol for NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) that enables block storage access over standard Ethernet. Content includes interoperability between Lightbits 3.19.1 and the Windows Server NVMe-oF Initiator Preview, allowing Windows Server hosts to connect to NVMe/TCP storage. Several Linux kernel vulnerabilities are also covered: CVE-2025-38264 affecting the nvme-tcp host driver, CVE-2025-21927 involving a header length bounds check, and a NULL-pointer dereference fix in the nvmet target code. These threads highlight security patches and the ongoing development of NVMe/TCP in both Windows and Linux environments.

    Lightbits 3.19.1 Interoperates with Windows Server NVMe-oF Initiator Preview

    Lightbits Labs said on May 28, 2026, that its Lightbits 3.19.1 software has achieved early interoperability with Microsoft’s Windows Server NVMe-over-Fabrics Initiator Preview, allowing Windows Server Insider hosts to connect to NVMe/TCP block storage over standard Ethernet for evaluation. That...

    Linux NVMe/TCP nvmet Patch Prevents Kernel NULL Pointer Crash

    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...

    CVE-2025-38264: Linux nvme-tcp Vulnerability and Azure Linux Attestation

    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...

    CVE-2025-21927 Linux NVMe over TCP header length bounds fix

    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...
