CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedA vulnerability in the Linux kernel allows for a buffer overflow due to incorrect length calculations in the keyctl_pkey_params_get_2() function when a smaller-than-necessary buffer is supplied. This could lead to potential exploitation, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service. Organizations using affected Linux systems should prioritize patching this vulnerability to mitigate risks associated with unauthorized access or system instability.
Original NVD Description
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.
