CVE-2025-37825 | nvmet: fix out-of-bounds access in nvmet_enable_port

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmet: fix out-of-bounds access in nvmet_enable_port When trying to enable a port that has no transport configured yet, nvmet_enable_port() uses NVMF_TRTYPE_MAX (255) to query the transports array, causing an out-of-bounds access: [ 106.058694] BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in nvmet_enable_port+0x42/0x1da [ 106.058719] Read of size 8 at addr ffffffff89dafa58 by task ln/632 [...] [ 106.076026] nvmet: transport type 255 not supported Since commit 200adac75888, NVMF_TRTYPE_MAX is the default state as configured by nvmet_ports_make(). Avoid this by checking for NVMF_TRTYPE_MAX before proceeding.

CVSS metrics for this CVE.

Base score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Impact Score source
7.1 3.1 HIGH
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:L)
They already need access on the box, or another person has to do something wrong; it’s not a remote drive-by.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
Integrity (I:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
