libkcapi: IV reuse in libkcapi one-shot symmetric cipher chunking causes cipher state reset across chunk boundaries

A flaw was found in libkcapi. When performing one-shot symmetric cipher operations on large inputs over 64 KiB in stateful modes such as Counter CTR or Cipher Block Chaining CBC, the library improperly reuses the Initialization Vector IV for each internal data chunk. A remote attacker could...

1.4.0-3.0.1 - Change distronameext in spec file to oracle 1.4.0-3 - Remove ansicprng test as new kernels don't support it Resolves: RHEL-242707 - Add tag processing in AEAD decryption without ciphertext Resolves: RHEL-242667 - CVE-2026-71226: Fix memory corruption via uncanceled AIO requests on...

OESA-2026-3575 libkcapi security update

The Linux kernel exports a Netlink interface of type AFALG to allow user space to utilize the kernel crypto API. libkcapi uses this Netlink interface and exports easy to use APIs so that a developer does not need to consider the low-level Netlink interface handling. The library does not implement...

Miscomputation when performing AES encryption in rust-crypto

The following Rust program demonstrates some strangeness in AES encryption - if you have an immutable key slice and then operate on that slice, you get different encryption output than if you operate on a copy of that key. For these functions, we expect that extending a 16 byte key to a 32 byte k...

kernel: Salsa20 encryption algorithm does not correctly handle zero-length inputs allowing local attackers to cause denial-of-service

The Salsa20 encryption algorithm in the Linux kernel, before 4.14.8, does not correctly handle zero-length inputs. This allows a local attacker the ability to use the AFALG-based skcipher interface to cause a denial of service uninitialized-memory free and kernel crash or have an unspecified othe...

LC4: Another Pen-and-Paper Cipher

Interesting symmetric cipher: LC4: Abstract: ElsieFour LC4 is a low-tech cipher that can be computed by hand; but unlike many historical ciphers, LC4 is designed to be hard to break. LC4 is intended for encrypted communication between humans only, and therefore it encrypts and decrypts plaintexts...
