DescriptionCVE.org

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crypto: pcrypt - restore callback for non-parallel fallback

pcrypt installs pcrypt_aead_done() on the child AEAD request before trying to submit it through padata. If padata_do_parallel() returns -EBUSY, pcrypt falls back to calling the child AEAD directly.

That fallback must not keep the padata completion callback. Otherwise an asynchronous completion runs pcrypt_aead_done() even though the request was never enrolled in padata.

Restore the original request callback and callback data before calling the child AEAD directly. This keeps the fallback path aligned with a direct AEAD request while leaving the parallel path unchanged.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in the Linux kernel's pcrypt crypto template allows remote unauthenticated attackers to crash the system by triggering a faulty fallback path. When the parallel execution via padata fails (e.g., due to resource pressure), the pcrypt module does not restore the original callback, leading to unsafe execution of the parallel-only completion routine and kernel memory corruption. The vulnerability has a low EPSS score (0.22%, 13th percentile), no public exploit or active exploitation, and patches are available in multiple stable kernel series.
