The vulnerability of the x509_process_extension() function in the crypto/asymmetric_keys/x509_cert_parser.c module of the Linux kernel’s cryptographic subsystem allows a attacker to compromise the confidentiality and accessibility of the protected information.

The vulnerability of the x509processextension function in the crypto/asymmetrickeys/x509certparser.c module of the Linux kernel’s cryptographic subsystem is related to the execution of operations outside of the buffer boundaries in memory. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to...
