36th percentile - higher than 36% of all known CVEs

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the krb5 crypto library and AF_RXRPC lack length checks before decryption/verification. New facilities for pre-checking message length have been added, and AF_RXRPC now validates DATA packets secured with RxGK.

Risk Assessment

Missing length checks before decryption could allow an attacker to send crafted packets, leading to data integrity issues or system crashes.

Recommendation

Apply the patch that adds pre-verification length checks in the krb5 library and AF_RXRPC, or update the kernel to a fixed version.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto/krb5, rxrpc: Fix lack of pre-decrypt/pre-verify length checks Change the krb5 crypto library to provide facilities to precheck the length of the message about to be decrypted or verified. Fix AF_RXRPC to make use of this to validate DATA packets secured with RxGK.
