CVE-2026-43033 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: authencesn - Do not place hiseq at end of dst for out-of-place decryption When decrypting data that is not in-place (src != dst), there is no need to save the high-order sequence bits in dst as it could simply be re-copied from the source. However, the data to be hashed need to be rearranged accordingly. Thanks,
A vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's handling of high-order sequence bits during out-of-place decryption in the 'authencesn' crypto module. When decrypting data that is not processed in-place, the kernel unnecessarily saves the high-order sequence bits in the destination buffer, instead of simply copying them from the source. This flaw requires the data to be rearranged before hashing, potentially leading to incorrect decryption or authentication errors.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been addressed. Instructions for upgrading the kernel can be found in the official Linux documentation.
