CVE-2026-46033

Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.1)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crypto: authencesn - reject short ahash digests during instance creation

authencesn requires either a zero authsize or an authsize of at least 4 bytes because the ESN encrypt/decrypt paths always move 4 bytes of high-order sequence number data at the end of the authenticated data.

While crypto_authenc_esn_setauthsize() already rejects explicit non-zero authsizes in the range 1..3, crypto_authenc_esn_create() still copied auth->digestsize into inst->alg.maxauthsize without validating it. The AEAD core then initialized the tfm's default authsize from that value.

As a result, selecting an ahash with digest size 1..3, such as cbcmac(cipher_null), exposed authencesn instances whose default authsize was invalid even though setauthsize() would have rejected the same value. AF_ALG could then trigger the ESN tail handling with a too-short tag and hit an out-of-bounds access.

Reject authencesn instances whose ahash digest size is in the invalid non-zero range 1..3 so that no tfm can inherit an unsupported default authsize.

CVSS

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK

Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.

Acceso local sin interacción (AV:L, PR:L, UI:N) permite escalada explotando validación insuficiente en authencesn. Out-of-bounds puede lograr ejecución de código o denegación de servicio.

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.

The AEAD core then initialized the tfm's default\nauthsize from that value.\n\nAs a result, selecting an ahash with digest size 1..3, such as\ncbcmac(cipher_null), exposed authencesn instances whose default\nauthsize was invalid even though setauthsize() would have rejected the\nsame value.  AF_ALG could then trigger the ESN tail handling with a\ntoo-short tag and hit an out-of-bounds access.\n\nReject authencesn instances whose ahash digest size is in the invalid\nnon-zero range 1..3 so that no tfm can inherit an unsupported default\nauthsize."
