CVSS 3.1
5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2024-41079
Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet: always initialize cqe.result
The spec doesn't mandate that the first two double words (aka results)
for the command queue entry need to be set to 0 when they are not
used (not specified). Though, the target implemention returns 0 for TCP
and FC but not for RDMA.
Let's make RDMA behave the same and thus explicitly initializing the
result field. This prevents leaking any data from the stack.
