Summary

In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability in keyctl_pkey_params_get_2() was found where incorrect output buffer length calculation can cause overflow when a too small buffer is provided. The fix allocates internal output with the size of the maximum cryptographic primitive length.

Risk Assessment

The organization faces potential buffer overflow, which could lead to system crashes or privilege escalation if exploited by an attacker.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix (commit 0f5e8a3e) or apply the appropriate security patch.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KEYS: fix overflow in keyctl_pkey_params_get_2() The length for the internal output buffer is calculated incorrectly, which can result overflow when a too small buffer is provided. Fix the bug by allocating internal output with the size of the maximum length of the cryptographic primitive instead of caller provided size.
