Linux Kernel Tegra Crypto Initialization Error Vulnerability

Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Tegra cryptographic functions has been addressed. The issue arose because the initialization functions for CMAC and SHA could return an error when memory was low. In such cases, the request should not have been processed. This vulnerability could lead to improper handling of cryptographic requests under certain memory conditions.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could result in cryptographic requests being incorrectly managed, potentially leading to unintended behavior in cryptographic operations.
