Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Incorrect calculation (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-80831)

CWE-ID: CWE-682 - Incorrect Calculation

CVSSv4: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause encryption and decryption operations to process an incorrect number of bytes.

The vulnerability exists due to improper use of an unmapped DMA scatterlist length in mxs_dcp_aes_block_crypt() when processing source scatterlists. A local user can trigger processing of affected source scatterlists to cause encryption and decryption operations to process an incorrect number of bytes.

The issue occurs when CONFIG_NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH is enabled.
