CVE-2023-6121 is an out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel NVMe-over-Fabrics TCP subsystem, in nvmet_ctrl_find_get. A crafted TCP packet sent to a vulnerable NVMe-oF/TCP target can cause kmalloc-backed heap data to be included in kernel ring-buffer output. The flaw is primarily an information-disclosure issue because the resulting diagnostic output may expose kernel memory contents to parties able to read dmesg.
