Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crypto: af_alg - get rid of alg_memory_allocated

alg_memory_allocated does not seem to be really used.

alg_proto does have a .memory_allocated field, but no
corresponding .sysctl_mem.

This means sk_has_account() returns true, but all sk_prot_mem_limits()
users will trigger a NULL dereference [1].

THis was not a problem until SO_RESERVE_MEM addition.

general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000001: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
