CVE-2025-39964CVE-2025-39964
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: af_alg - Disallow concurrent writes in af_alg_sendmsg
Issuing two writes to the same af_alg socket is bogus as the
data will be interleaved in an unpredictable fashion. Furthermore,
concurrent writes may create inconsistencies in the internal
socket state.
Disallow this by adding a new ctx->write field that indiciates
exclusive ownership for writing.
