omap crypto

About this tag
The omap crypto tag covers discussions about the OMAP (Open Multimedia Applications Platform) cryptographic driver in the Linux kernel, particularly security vulnerabilities and fixes. A recent thread details CVE-2026-23222, a bug where kmalloc_array() allocated an array of pointers instead of scatterlist objects, causing an undersized buffer that risked memory corruption. The fix corrects this allocation error. Topics include kernel patches, memory management, and driver stability for OMAP-based systems. This tag is relevant for Linux developers, system administrators, and security researchers working with OMAP hardware or kernel crypto subsystems.

  1. Linux Kernel CVE-2026-23222: OMAP Scatterlist Allocation Fixed

    The Linux kernel received a small but important fix for a scatterlist allocation error in the OMAP crypto driver that was tracked as CVE-2026-23222; the bug caused kmalloc_array() to allocate an array of pointers rather than an array of scatterlist objects, producing an allocation that was four...
