Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: authencesn - Do not place hiseq at end of dst for out-of-place decryption
When decrypting data that is not in-place (src != dst), there is
no need to save the high-order sequence bits in dst as it could
simply be re-copied from the source.
However, the data to be hashed need to be rearranged accordingly.
Thanks,
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's authencesn cryptographic module. When performing out-of-place decryption (where source and destination data buffers are different), the system incorrectly handles high-order sequence bits. This leads to improper data rearrangement before hashing, which could potentially affect the integrity of cryptographic operations.
Отчет
This flaw is rated as Moderate severity because exploitation requires local access or an existing cryptographic session configured for out-of-place decryption, limiting the risk of remote unauthenticated compromise. In standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux deployments, IPsec and kernel cryptographic operations typically execute in-place transformations, making vulnerable out-of-place buffer handling uncommon. An authenticated local user or compromised session able to invoke this cipher algorithm could cause cryptographic verification failures or kernel instability leading to a denial of service.
