Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-auth: assign dh_key to NULL after kfree_sensitive
ctrl->dh_key might be used across multiple calls to nvmet_setup_dhgroup()
for the same controller. So it's better to nullify it after release on
error path in order to avoid double free later in nvmet_destroy_auth().
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace.
A flaw was found in the nvmet-auth component of the Linux kernel. An authenticated local attacker with administrative privileges could trigger a double free vulnerability by repeatedly calling nvmet_setup_dhgroup(). This could lead to a denial of service (DoS) or potentially arbitrary code execution.
Отчет
This issue is considered to be a moderate impact flaw, as the exploitation for this will need an ADMIN (or ROOT) privilege (PR:H).
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent the nvmet_auth kernel module from loading if NVMe over Fabrics authentication is not required. Create /etc/modprobe.d/disable-nvmet-auth.conf with the following content:
install nvmet_auth /bin/true
After creating the file, regenerate the initramfs and reboot the system for the changes to take effect:
dracut -f -v
reboot
Disabling this module may impact systems utilizing NVMe over Fabrics authentication.
