Last modified

CVE-2026-4652 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. On a system exposing an NVMe/TCP target, a remote client can trigger a kernel panic by sending a CONNECT command for an I/O queue with a bogus or stale CNTLID. An attacker with network access to the NVMe/TCP target can trigger an unauthenticated Denial of Service condition on the affected machine.. EPSS estimates a 0.37% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
