Descriptions
A flaw was found in the crypto subsystem of the Linux kernel before version kernel-4.15-rc4. The "null skcipher" was being dropped when each af_alg_ctx was freed instead of when the aead_tfm was freed. This can cause the null skcipher to be freed while it is still in use leading to a local user being able to crash the system or possibly escalate privileges.
Se ha encontrado un error en el subsistema crypto del kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a kernel-4.15-rc4. Se dejó "null skcipher" cuando se liberó cada af_alg_ctx en lugar de cuando se liberó aead_tfm. Esto puede provocar la liberación del skcipher null mientras sigue en uso, lo que conduce a que un usuario local sea capaz de provocar el cierre inesperado del sistema o un posible escalado de privilegios.
A flaw was found in the crypto subsystem that allowed an attacker
to crash the system or possibly escalate privileges with a specially crafted program.
