Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-68452)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in cca_cipher2protkey() when processing CCA AES cipher key requests. A local user can supply a key token with an excessive length field to cause a denial of service.
The copy length for the CPRB parameter block is derived directly from the length field in the key token.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
