The vulnerability of the af_alg_alloc_areq() function in the crypto/af_alg.c module of the Linux kernel’s cryptographic subsystem allows a hacker to trigger a service failure.

The vulnerability of the afalgallocareq function in the crypto/afalg.c module of the Linux kernel’s cryptographic subsystem is related to pointer manipulation. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to cause a service failure...

CVE-2025-71113

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: afalg - zero initialize memory allocated via sockkmalloc Several crypto user API contexts and requests allocated with sockkmalloc were left uninitialized, relying on callers to set fields explicitly. This resulted in the...

CVE-2023-53599 crypto: af_alg - Fix missing initialisation affecting gcm-aes-s390

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: afalg - Fix missing initialisation affecting gcm-aes-s390 Fix afalgallocareq to initialise areq-firstrsgl.sgl.sgt.sgl to point to the scatterlist array in areq-firstrsgl.sgl.sgl. Without this, the gcm-aes-s390 driver will...
