A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) over TCP (nvme-tcp) component. A malicious NVMe controller can exploit this vulnerability by sending a Ready to Transfer (R2T) command for a read request. The host system, failing to properly validate the request direction, will then send the contents of its read destination buffer to the controller. This can lead to the disclosure of stale kernel memory data, potentially revealing sensitive information.
