CVE-2024-26800CVE-2024-26800
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tls: fix use-after-free on failed backlog decryption
When the decrypt request goes to the backlog and crypto_aead_decrypt
returns -EBUSY, tls_do_decryption will wait until all async
decryptions have completed. If one of them fails, tls_do_decryption
will return -EBADMSG and tls_decrypt_sg jumps to the error path,
releasing all the pages. But the pages have been passed to the async
callback, and have already been released by tls_decrypt_done.
The only true async case is when crypto_aead_decrypt returns
-EINPROGRESS. With -EBUSY, we already waited so we can tell
tls_sw_recvmsg that the data is available for immediate copy, but we
need to notify tls_decrypt_sg (via the new ->async_done flag) that the
memory has already been released.
