CVE-2017-17805 log

Source
Severity Medium
Remote No
Type Denial of service
Description
The Salsa20 encryption algorithm in the Linux kernel before 4.14.8, 4.9.71, 4.4.107, 3.18.89, 3.16.52 and 3.2.97 does not correctly handle zero-length inputs, allowing a local attacker able to use the AF_ALG-based skcipher interface (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER) to cause a denial of service (uninitialized-memory free and kernel crash) or have unspecified other impact by executing a crafted sequence of system calls that use the blkcipher_walk API. Both the generic implementation (crypto/salsa20_generic.c) and x86 implementation (arch/x86/crypto/salsa20_glue.c) of Salsa20 were vulnerable.
