A remote 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": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/scsi/libiscsi.c"], "versions": [{"version": "7996a778ff8c717cb1a7a294475c59cc8f1e9fb8", "lessThan": "812f1ae95b22419422972748f173b0916ee4d621", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "7996a778ff8c717cb1a7a294475c59cc8f1e9fb8", "lessThan": "fef6167e8149896cd81bea333fd51b1c91239149", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "7996a778ff8c717cb1a7a294475c59cc8f1e9fb8", "lessThan": "baa04572673125e4d5bc309b4077d1cb46cc78d1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "7996a778ff8c717cb1a7a294475c59cc8f1e9fb8", "lessThan": "7567f06abdefb1caf2d836107c4d08c5185c650e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "7996a778ff8c717cb1a7a294475c59cc8f1e9fb8", "lessThan": "60499924faf4ef97e84228c20515218ef121facf", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "7996a778ff8c717cb1a7a294475c59cc8f1e9fb8", "lessThan": "3ef209ca0b4b68c75e9a814d90cc916026b5a6ac", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "7996a778ff8c717cb1a7a294475c59cc8f1e9fb8", "lessThan": "1f07a897d43c63e6c9458bf77450defef39b5833", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "7996a778ff8c717cb1a7a294475c59cc8f1e9fb8", "lessThan": "98b87885de4b7f605533a2860685f5689fce8e82", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/scsi/libiscsi.c"], "versions": [{"version": "2.6.18", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "2.6.18", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.10.265", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.15.216", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.183", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.151", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.103", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.44", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.1.8", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.18", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.265"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.18", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.216"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.183"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.151"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.103"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.18", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.44"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.18", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.8"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.18", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/812f1ae95b22419422972748f173b0916ee4d621"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fef6167e8149896cd81bea333fd51b1c91239149"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/baa04572673125e4d5bc309b4077d1cb46cc78d1"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7567f06abdefb1caf2d836107c4d08c5185c650e"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/60499924faf4ef97e84228c20515218ef121facf"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3ef209ca0b4b68c75e9a814d90cc916026b5a6ac"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1f07a897d43c63e6c9458bf77450defef39b5833"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/98b87885de4b7f605533a2860685f5689fce8e82"}], "title": "scsi: libiscsi: Fix stale-data leak into the SCSI sense buffer", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
