Summary
CVE-2025-38566 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.104.2-1
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sunrpc: fix handling of server side tls alerts

Scott Mayhew discovered a security exploit in NFS over TLS in tlsalertrecv() due to its assumption it can read data from the msg iterator's kvec..

kTLS implementation splits TLS non-data record payload between the control message buffer (which includes the type such as TLS aler or TLS cipher change) and the rest of the payload (say TLS alert's level/description) which goes into the msg payload buffer.

This patch proposes to rework how control messages are setup and used by sock_recvmsg().

If no control message structure is setup, kTLS layer will read and process TLS data record types. As soon as it encounters a TLS control message, it would return an error. At that point, NFS can setup a kvec backed msg buffer and read in the control message such as a TLS alert. Msg iterator can advance the kvec pointer as a part of the copy process thus we need to revert the iterator before calling into the tlsalertrecv.
