CVE-2025-38566 affects server-side TLS alert processing in the Linux kernel SunRPC implementation used by NFS over TLS. The tls_alert_recv() function incorrectly assumes that alert data can be read from the message iterator's kvec. kTLS separates non-data TLS records between a control-message buffer containing the record type and a message payload buffer containing the remaining data, such as the alert level and description. Message copying can advance the iterator's kvec pointer, invalidating the assumptions made by the alert-processing code. The correction reworks control-message reception through sock_recvmsg() and reverts the iterator before invoking tls_alert_recv().
