Subject: [PATCH] nvme: make the DH-HMAC-CHAP secret attributes readable by root only
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 13:32:41 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013173241.1713708-1-martin.nvme.dev@gmail.com> (raw)

The dhchap_secret and dhchap_ctrl_secret sysfs attributes have mode
0644. Their show functions return the secret, so any local user can
read the DH-HMAC-CHAP secrets of a connected controller.

Change the mode to 0600. Writing the attributes was already limited to
root and is not changed.

Fixes: f50fff73d620 ("nvme: implement In-Band authentication")
