CVE-2024-27061
Publication date:
01/05/2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
crypto: sun8i-ce - Fix use after free in unprepare<br />
<br />
sun8i_ce_cipher_unprepare should be called before<br />
crypto_finalize_skcipher_request, because client callbacks may<br />
immediately free memory, that isn&#39;t needed anymore. But it will be<br />
used by unprepare after free. Before removing prepare/unprepare<br />
callbacks it was handled by crypto engine in crypto_finalize_request.<br />
<br />
Usually that results in a pointer dereference problem during a in<br />
crypto selftest.<br />
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at<br />
virtual address 0000000000000030<br />
