**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** A flaw exists in the Linux kernel’s crypto/aead implementation related to the handling of request sizes. A change introduced by commit afddce13ce81d added the `cra reqsize` field to the `crypto alg` structure, intended to replace type-specific request size fields. However, this change was incorrectly applied to all crypto algorithms, including aead, without updating the underlying functions to properly utilize `cra reqsize`. This improper handling leads to memory corruption and system crashes. The issue stems from the failure to properly initialize the request size for aead algorithms within the framework. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
