CVE-2025-71131CVE-2025-71131
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: seqiv - Do not use req->iv after crypto_aead_encrypt
As soon as crypto_aead_encrypt is called, the underlying request
may be freed by an asynchronous completion. Thus dereferencing
req->iv after it returns is invalid.
Instead of checking req->iv against info, create a new variable
unaligned_info and use it for that purpose instead.
