CVE-2025-39789

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crypto: x86/aegis - Add missing error checks

The skcipher_walk functions can allocate memory and can fail, so checking for errors is necessary.

This vulnerability presents minimal operational risk to Red Hat environments because the affected cryptographic cipher is not enabled in supported kernels. On upstream Linux systems, omitting error checks during memory allocation in AEGIS-128 cipher operations could allow a local user to cause system instability. Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel builds do not compile the vulnerable x86 AEGIS-128 module, leaving default installations unaffected.
