3th percentile - higher than 3% of all known CVEs

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the crypto authencesn module has a vulnerability where high-order sequence bits (hiseq) are unnecessarily placed at the end of the destination buffer during out-of-place decryption (src != dst), causing incorrect hashing data arrangement.

Risk Assessment

This vulnerability could lead to decryption errors or unauthorized data access if an attacker exploits the incorrect sequence processing in cryptographic operations.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix for CVE-2026-43033 to eliminate the risk of decryption errors.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: authencesn - Do not place hiseq at end of dst for out-of-place decryption When decrypting data that is not in-place (src != dst), there is no need to save the high-order sequence bits in dst as it could simply be re-copied from the source. However, the data to be hashed need to be rearranged accordingly. Thanks,
