FKIE_CVE-2022-49258

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-02-26 07:01 - Updated: 2026-06-17 05:17
Severity
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: ccree - Fix use after free in cc_cipher_exit() kfree_sensitive(ctx_p->user.key) will free the ctx_p->user.key. But ctx_p->user.key is still used in the next line, which will lead to a use after free. We can call kfree_sensitive() after dev_dbg() to avoid the uaf.
