In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: algif_aead - Revert to operating out-of-place
This mostly reverts commit 72548b093ee3 except for the copying of the associated data.
There is no benefit in operating in-place in algif_aead since the source and destination come from different mappings. Get rid of all the complexity added for in-place operation and just copy the AD directly.
AnalysisAI
Memory corruption in Linux kernel's algif_aead cryptographic interface allows local authenticated users to achieve arbitrary kernel memory read/write, leading to privilege escalation to root. The vulnerability stems from improper handling of in-place operations introduced in commit 72548b093ee3, affecting kernel versions from 4.14 through 6.19.x. …

RemediationAI
Within 24 hours: Inventory all systems running Linux kernel versions 4.14 through 6.19.x and assess exposure to untrusted local users. Within 7 days: Prioritize patching or upgrading kernels to version 6.20 or later on high-value systems; restrict local user access on systems that cannot be immediately patched. …
