Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> crypto: seqiv - Handle EBUSY correctly<br /> <br /> As it is seqiv only handles the special return value of EINPROGERSS,<br /> which means that in all other cases it will free data related to the<br /> request.<br /> <br /> However, as the caller of seqiv may specify MAY_BACKLOG, we also need<br /> to expect EBUSY and treat it in the same way. Otherwise backlogged<br /> requests will trigger a use-after-free.
