Out-of-Bounds Write in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-64304)
Summary
Out-of-bounds write in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-64304). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: qat - validate RSA CRT component lengths
The generic RSA key parser (rsa_helper.c) bounds each CRT component (p,
q, dp, dq, qinv) by the modulus size n_sz, but qat_rsa_setkey_crt()
allocates half-size DMA buffers (key_sz / 2) and right-aligns each
component with:
memcpy(dst + half_key_sz - len, src, len)
When a CRT component is larger than half_key_sz the subtraction
underflows and memcpy writes past the DMA buffer, causing memory
corruption.
Add a len > half_key_sz check next to the existing !len check for each
of the five CRT components so the driver falls back to the non-CRT path
instead of writing out of bounds.
