{"cve":"CVE-2026-80832","nvd":{"published":"2026-09-04T16:18:11.433","modified":"2026-10-19T09:17:18.390","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ncrypto: qce - fix CCM AAD buffer underallocation\n\nThe AAD buffer allocated in qce_aead_ccm_prepare_buf_assoclen()\ncan be smaller than the length later programmed into the DMA\nscatterlist.\n\nThe allocation size is currently calculated as:\n\n  ALIGN(assoclen, 16) + MAX_CCM_ADATA_HEADER_LEN\n\nwhile the DMA length is set to:\n\n  ALIGN(assoclen + adata_header_len, 16)\n\nSince ALIGN() does not distribute over addition, the allocation\ncan be smaller than the DMA length. For example, when\nassoclen = 32 and adata_header_len = 2:\n\n  allocation = ALIGN(32, 16) + 6 = 38\n  DMA length = ALIGN(32 + 2, 16) = 48\n\nAs a result, the QCE hardware can read beyond the allocated\nbuffer while computing the CBC-MAC over the associated data.\nThe extra bytes are folded into the authentication tag,\nresulting in an incorrect tag and causing CCM self-test\nfailures such as:\n\n  alg: aead: ccm-aes-qce encryption test failed (wrong result)\n  on test vector 8\n\nFix the allocation by adding the maximum possible AAD header\nlength before alignment:\n\n  ALIGN(assoclen + MAX_CCM_ADATA_HEADER_LEN, 16)\n\nThis guarantees that the allocated buffer is large enough\nfor the fully padded AAD data for all supported header sizes.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/002f1f99aef7ea631cb687fc17bce64e4963f6aa","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/11775b35ce9f27e73d62188d7d38aa0dc0a219aa","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2f65718b9c1095eef1ae9b374aa0384b1b083f3c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/46a84efe2dbaddde89073a3c00c694486937c34b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4839f4c21f9c577eedef2919ced878a3057c7fc3"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:52:03.409947763+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-80832","score":0.00178,"percentile":0.07313,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
