A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's nvmet-auth subsystem. During the pre-authentication handshake, a remote attacker can exploit an issue where the system allocates a response buffer but only partially initializes it. The uninitialized portion of this buffer is then transmitted to the remote initiator. This can lead to the disclosure of sensitive information from kernel memory.
