  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\ncrypto: authencesn - Do not place hiseq at end of dst for out-of-place decryption\nWhen decrypting data that is not in-place (src != dst), there is\nno need to save the high-order sequence bits in dst as it could\nsimply be re-copied from the source.\nHowever, the data to be hashed need to be rearranged accordingly.\nThanks,", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `authencesn` cryptographic module. When performing out-of-place decryption (where source and destination data buffers are different), the system incorrectly handles high-order sequence bits. This leads to improper data rearrangement before hashing, which could potentially affect the integrity of cryptographic operations." ],
