Title
nvmet-auth: assign dh_key to NULL after kfree_sensitive
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmet-auth: assign dh_key to NULL after kfree_sensitive ctrl->dh_key might be used across multiple calls to nvmet_setup_dhgroup() for the same controller. So it's better to nullify it after release on error path in order to avoid double free later in nvmet_destroy_auth(). Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace.

No local access to the target is needed to drive the vulnerable function.\nAC:H - Two preconditions lie entirely outside the attacker\u0027s control: `ctrl-\u003edh_gid` must diverge from `host-\u003edhchap_dhgroup_id` (the negotiate loop can only re-assign `dh_gid` to its existing value, so this requires an administrator changing `dhchap_dhgroup` via configfs between two setups), and `crypto_kpp_set_secret()` must fail, which happens only on a small GFP_KERNEL/MPI allocation failure or default-RNG failure that the kernel does not produce without OOM-killing first.\nPR:N - The code path is the authentication setup itself and runs before DH-HMAC-CHAP completes (`sq-\u003eauthenticated == false`); the only credential involved is the host NQN, a non-secret identifier the attacker chooses in the Connect payload. No prior authentication or account on the target is required.\nUI:N - No victim action participates in the attack \u2014 the attacker alone issues Connect and AUTH_Send commands and later disconnects to drive `nvmet_ctrl_free()` \u2192 `nvmet_destroy_auth()`. The DH-group configfs setting is pre-existing system configuration, not user interaction.\nS:U - The double free corrupts kernel slab state within the kernel\u0027s own security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - A double free of the 256\u20131024 byte `ctrl-\u003edh_key` in a general-purpose kmalloc cache lets the same slab object be handed out twice; with the heap grooming the remote peer already has on the target (`kmalloc(tl, GFP_KERNEL)` with attacker-chosen `tl` in `nvmet_execute_auth_send()`), this yields a UAF-style read primitive over adjacent/overlapping kernel objects, including the DH private key material itself.\nI:H - The same aliased-allocation primitive gives an attacker-controlled write into an object another kernel subsystem believes it owns, corrupting SLUB freelist metadata and enabling control-flow hijacking in the classic double-free exploitation pattern.\nA:H - Even unexploited, the second `kfree_sensitive()` on the dangling pointer trips SLUB double-free detection (BUG/panic with `slub_debug` or `panic_on_oops`) or corrupts the freelist into a later fatal oops, taking down the storage target."
