For example, when\nassoclen = 32 and adata_header_len = 2:\n\n  allocation = ALIGN(32, 16) + 6 = 38\n  DMA length = ALIGN(32 + 2, 16) = 48\n\nAs a result, the QCE hardware can read beyond the allocated\nbuffer while computing the CBC-MAC over the associated data.\nThe extra bytes are folded into the authentication tag,\nresulting in an incorrect tag and causing CCM self-test\nfailures such as:\n\n  alg: aead: ccm-aes-qce encryption test failed (wrong result)\n  on test vector 8\n\nFix the allocation by adding the maximum possible AAD header\nlength before alignment:\n\n  ALIGN(assoclen + MAX_CCM_ADATA_HEADER_LEN, 16)\n\nThis guarantees that the allocated buffer is large enough\nfor the fully padded AAD data for all supported header sizes."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/crypto/qce/aead.c"],"versions":[{"version":"9363efb4181c5e0fbf86bdfa759262aa29f0eb50","lessThan":"11775b35ce9f27e73d62188d7d38aa0dc0a219aa","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9363efb4181c5e0fbf86bdfa759262aa29f0eb50","lessThan":"c9e0f06a023107694698a7930616aeb460d91816","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9363efb4181c5e0fbf86bdfa759262aa29f0eb50","lessThan":"cc56d2b0d77cfeea061e98114992ee687d5eb4dd","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9363efb4181c5e0fbf86bdfa759262aa29f0eb50","lessThan":"002f1f99aef7ea631cb687fc17bce64e4963f6aa","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9363efb4181c5e0fbf86bdfa759262aa29f0eb50","lessThan":"2f65718b9c1095eef1ae9b374aa0384b1b083f3c","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9363efb4181c5e0fbf86bdfa759262aa29f0eb50","lessThan":"46a84efe2dbaddde89073a3c00c694486937c34b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9363efb4181c5e0fbf86bdfa759262aa29f0eb50","lessThan":"4839f4c21f9c577eedef2919ced878a3057c7fc3","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9363efb4181c5e0fbf86bdfa759262aa29f0eb50","lessThan":"7f2345f47dd189625f657cd72437179ab4170ee1","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/crypto/qce/aead.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5.14","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"5.14","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.220","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.187","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.156","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.108","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.49","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1.13","lessThanOrEqual":"7.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.3","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3-rc1","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.14","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.220"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.14","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.187"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.14","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.156"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.14","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.108"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.14","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.49"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.14","versionEndExcluding":"7.1.13"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.14","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.3"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.14","versionEndExcluding":"7.3-rc1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/11775b35ce9f27e73d62188d7d38aa0dc0a219aa"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c9e0f06a023107694698a7930616aeb460d91816"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cc56d2b0d77cfeea061e98114992ee687d5eb4dd"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/002f1f99aef7ea631cb687fc17bce64e4963f6aa"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2f65718b9c1095eef1ae9b374aa0384b1b083f3c"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/46a84efe2dbaddde89073a3c00c694486937c34b"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4839f4c21f9c577eedef2919ced878a3057c7fc3"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7f2345f47dd189625f657cd72437179ab4170ee1"}],"title":"crypto:
