Those are the caller's own pinned pages for an O_DIRECT\nwrite, and page cache pages for a buffered one.\n\nObserved against a test target that emits one 512-byte Data-In naming a 128\nKB write's ITT, after the R2T for that write. With O_DIRECT the caller's\nbuffer ends up holding 512 bytes of the target's data while pwrite()\nreturns 131072. Buffered is quieter: pwrite() and fsync() both succeed,\nnothing is logged, and reading those blocks back returns the target's bytes\nout of the page cache without a command going on the wire.\n\nCheck the direction before using the scatterlist, the way the R2T path\nalready does."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/scsi/libiscsi_tcp.c"],"versions":[{"version":"a081c13e39b5c17052a7b46fafa61019c4c110ff","lessThan":"79991b770fc3685b1d5cf805b659a879edd19931","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a081c13e39b5c17052a7b46fafa61019c4c110ff","lessThan":"8db1232945bc663fb94f300090a1fc108de99296","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a081c13e39b5c17052a7b46fafa61019c4c110ff","lessThan":"94e5bdd08e51c450d954bc592f591c233ca5c9df","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a081c13e39b5c17052a7b46fafa61019c4c110ff","lessThan":"de96dc11aee0d058927bff94a168e3c5c46483e2","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a081c13e39b5c17052a7b46fafa61019c4c110ff","lessThan":"e3b25bf2cf2496e85bc05b33360faf9fdf880e03","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a081c13e39b5c17052a7b46fafa61019c4c110ff","lessThan":"ee56b5e18f566c0b5a183379dcd63d402cebf2f8","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a081c13e39b5c17052a7b46fafa61019c4c110ff","lessThan":"24ffc919467d20951f0f132d1c75294e2e91e09b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a081c13e39b5c17052a7b46fafa61019c4c110ff","lessThan":"bce07e2f37b5e4a427d36fd6b1c14067b27591db","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/scsi/libiscsi_tcp.c"],"versions":[{"version":"2.6.29","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"2.6.29","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.10.271","lessThanOrEqual":"5.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.222","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.189","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.158","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.112","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.55","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.9","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.29","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.271"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.29","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.222"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.29","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.189"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.29","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.158"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.29","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.112"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.29","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.55"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.29","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.9"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.29","versionEndExcluding":"7.3"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/79991b770fc3685b1d5cf805b659a879edd19931"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8db1232945bc663fb94f300090a1fc108de99296"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/94e5bdd08e51c450d954bc592f591c233ca5c9df"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/de96dc11aee0d058927bff94a168e3c5c46483e2"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e3b25bf2cf2496e85bc05b33360faf9fdf880e03"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ee56b5e18f566c0b5a183379dcd63d402cebf2f8"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/24ffc919467d20951f0f132d1c75294e2e91e09b"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bce07e2f37b5e4a427d36fd6b1c14067b27591db"}],"title":"scsi: libiscsi_tcp: Check the data direction of a Data-In PDU","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
