DescriptionNVD

NetBSD prior to commit ec8451e contains a race condition vulnerability in cryptodev_op() within the opencrypto subsystem that allows local attackers to trigger a double-free condition by concurrently issuing CIOCCRYPT operations on the same session identifier on SMP systems. Attackers can exploit mutable per-operation state embedded in the csession struct to corrupt kernel heap memory.

AnalysisAI

Kernel heap corruption in NetBSD's opencrypto subsystem enables local privilege-adjacent attackers to crash the kernel via a double-free triggered by a race condition in cryptodev_op(). The flaw exists because mutable per-operation state - including tmp_iv, tmp_mac, iovec, and uio - was embedded directly in the shared csession struct rather than isolated per-operation, making it unsafely accessible across concurrent threads on SMP systems. …
