In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: ccp: Don't attempt to copy ID to userspace if PSP command failed When retrieving the ID for the CPU, don't attempt to copy the ID blob to userspace if the firmware command failed. If the failure was due to an invalid length, i.e. the userspace buffer+length was too small, copying the number of bytes _firmware_ requires will overflow the kernel-allocated buffer and leak data to userspace.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's crypto: ccp driver. A local user could exploit this vulnerability by attempting to retrieve the CPU ID when a firmware command fails due to an invalid length. This can cause an overflow of a kernel-allocated buffer, leading to the disclosure of sensitive kernel memory to userspace.

When AMD PSP/CCP firmware commands fail, the kernel must not copy uninitialized ID buffers to userspace. Red Hat treats this as a local information-disclosure hardening issue on systems using the CCP crypto driver. Apply patched kernels.
