Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> bpf, ktls: Fix data corruption when using bpf_msg_pop_data() in ktls<br /> <br /> When sending plaintext data, we initially calculated the corresponding<br /> ciphertext length. However, if we later reduced the plaintext data length<br /> via socket policy, we failed to recalculate the ciphertext length.<br /> <br /> This results in transmitting buffers containing uninitialized data during<br /> ciphertext transmission.<br /> <br /> This causes uninitialized bytes to be appended after a complete<br /> "Application Data" packet, leading to errors on the receiving end when<br /> parsing TLS record.
