  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnvmet-tcp: Fix potential UAF when ddgst mismatch\n\nShivam Kumar found via vulnerability testing:\nWhen data digest is enabled on an NVMe/TCP connection and a digest\nmismatch occurs on a non-final H2C_DATA PDU during an R2T-based\ndata transfer, the digest error handler in nvmet_tcp_try_recv_ddgst()\ncalls nvmet_req_uninit() \u2014 which performs percpu_ref_put() on the\nsubmission queue \u2014 but does NOT mark the command as completed. It\ndoes not set cqe->status, does not modify rbytes_done, and does not\nclear any flag. When the subsequent fatal error triggers queue\nteardown, nvmet_tcp_uninit_data_in_cmds() iterates all commands,\nchecks nvmet_tcp_need_data_in() for each one, and finds that the\nalready-uninited command still appears to need data (because\nrbytes_done < transfer_len and cqe->status == 0). It therefore calls\nnvmet_req_uninit() a second time on the same command \u2014 a double\npercpu_ref_put against a single percpu_ref_get.",
