A nonzero length smaller than\none SGL descriptor makes nr_descs zero, so\nnvmet_pci_epf_get_sgl_segment() reads the type byte of sgls[-1] outside\nthe allocated buffer. If that byte contains a segment descriptor type,\nthe function also copies the preceding 16 bytes and returns a negative\ndescriptor count.\n\nThe read was reproduced in 3/3 KASAN boots with only the host transfer\nmocked by a KUnit test:\n\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in nvmet_pci_epf_get_sgl_segment\n  Read of size 1 by task kunit_try_catch\n  Call Trace:\n   nvmet_pci_epf_get_sgl_segment\n   nvmet_pci_epf_short_sgl_test\n  Kernel panic - not syncing: KASAN: panic_on_warn set ...\n\nReject segments that cannot hold one descriptor before allocating or\ntransferring their contents.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2423a05dd0f21330c47ce0ae1cb54a8b0be821e2","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/472df1d103dbe3e9d09156f0667e36180e912c46","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5d5fbfbbacd1efb13a9bf91317d4fde859ede4b9"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T23:00:53.604569364+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-98724","score":0.00198,"percentile":0.09482,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
