CVE-2024-26800 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tls: fix use-after-free on failed backlog decryption

When the decrypt request goes to the backlog and crypto_aead_decrypt returns -EBUSY tls_do_decryption will wait until all async decryptions have completed. If one of them fails tls_do_decryption will return -EBADMSG and tls_decrypt_sg jumps to the error path releasing all the pages. But the pages have been passed to the async callback and have already been released by tls_decrypt_done.

The only true async case is when crypto_aead_decrypt returns -EINPROGRESS. With -EBUSY we already waited so we can tell tls_sw_recvmsg that the data is available for immediate copy but we need to notify tls_decrypt_sg (via the new ->async_done flag) that the memory has already been released.
