  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\ncrypto: af_alg - Fix page reassignment overflow in af_alg_pull_tsgl\nWhen page reassignment was added to af_alg_pull_tsgl the original\nloop wasn't updated so it may try to reassign one more page than\nnecessary.\nAdd the check to the reassignment so that this does not happen.\nAlso update the comment which still refers to the obsolete offset\nargument.", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. Specifically, within the `crypto: af_alg` component, a page reassignment overflow could occur in the `af_alg_pull_tsgl` function. This vulnerability arises because the original loop was not updated, potentially allowing it to reassign one more page than necessary. This could lead to unexpected system behavior or a denial of service (DoS)." ],
