CVE: CVE-2024-38578
Published: 2024-06-19
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ecryptfs: Fix buffer size for tag 66 packet

The 'TAG 66 Packet Format' description is missing the cipher code and
checksum fields that are packed into the message packet. As a result,
the buffer allocated for the packet is 3 bytes too small and
write_tag_66_packet() will write up to 3 bytes past the end of the
buffer.

Fix this by increasing the size of the allocation so the whole packet
will always fit in the buffer.

This fixes the below kasan slab-out-of-bounds bug:
