Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: seqiv - Do not use req->iv after crypto_aead_encrypt As soon as crypto_aead_encrypt is called, the underlying request may be freed by an asynchronous completion. Thus dereferencing req->iv after it returns is invalid. Instead of checking req->iv against info, create a new variable unaligned_info and use it for that purpose instead.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 2.6.25.1 < 5.10.248) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.198) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.160) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.120) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.64) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.4) • linux linux kernel 2.6.25 • linux linux kernel 6.19
