Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmet: fix return status of RMI log page on allocation failure nvmet_execute_get_log_page_rmi() leaves 'status' holding NVME_SC_SUCCESS (set by the successful nvmet_req_find_ns() call) when the kzalloc() for the log buffer fails. It then jumps to the out label and completes the request with a success status, so the host is told the command succeeded while no data was transferred. Initialize 'status' to NVME_SC_INTERNAL, matching the smart log handler, so an allocation failure is reported as an internal error.

Affected products

• Linux kernel: 6.13 — fixed in 7.3

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Linux kernel 7.3. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
