Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2015-3331
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel versions prior to 3.19.3
**Description**
The issue is related to the ` driver rfc4106 decrypt` function in the Linux kernel, which does not properly determine the memory locations used for encrypted data. This allows attackers to cause a denial of service, such as a buffer overflow and system crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code by triggering a crypto API call.
**Recommendations**
For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.19.3, update to version 3.19.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the crypto API to minimize the risk of exploitation.
