Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's cryptographic module, specifically within the EIP93 hardware accelerator driver. An error in how the system allocates resources for HMAC (Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code) operations can lead to a critical system failure. When certain cryptographic operations are performed, this flaw causes a NULL pointer to be accessed, resulting in a kernel panic and a Denial of Service (DoS) condition for the affected system.
