About this tag
The cve-2026-53016 tag covers reporting on a Linux kernel vulnerability in the AMD CCP cryptographic driver. The flaw affects AF_ALG RFC3686 CTR-AES operations, where an AES completion path may copy a 16-byte initialization vector into an 8-byte caller-provided buffer. Coverage focuses on the local nature of the issue, its high CVSS rating, and the significance of memory-handling errors in kernel crypto acceleration. This archive is relevant to readers tracking Linux kernel security, cryptographic infrastructure, privilege-boundary risks, and the practical implications of small copy-length mistakes in low-level operating system code.

    CVE-2026-53016: Linux CCP Crypto Driver IV Overrun in AF_ALG CTR-AES

    CVE-2026-53016 is a newly published Linux kernel vulnerability disclosed on June 24, 2026, in the AMD CCP crypto driver, where an AES completion path can copy a 16-byte IV into an 8-byte caller-provided buffer during AF_ALG RFC3686 CTR-AES operations. The bug is local, not remote, but its high...
