Описание
A memory leak in the crypto_report() function in crypto/crypto_user_base.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering crypto_report_alg() failures, aka CID-ffdde5932042.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The crypto_report function mishandles resource cleanup on error. A local attacker able to induce the error conditions could use this flaw to crash the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
Отчет
This issue is rated as having Low impact because of the preconditions needed to trigger the error cleanup code path.
Меры по смягчению последствий
In order to mitigate this issue it is possible to prevent the affected code from being loaded by blacklisting the kernel module crypto_user. For instructions relating to how to blacklist a kernel module refer to: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 .
