From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>

Description
===========

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

crypto: qat - validate RSA CRT component lengths

The generic RSA key parser (rsa_helper.c) bounds each CRT component (p,
q, dp, dq, qinv) by the modulus size n_sz, but qat_rsa_setkey_crt()
allocates half-size DMA buffers (key_sz / 2) and right-aligns each
component with:

    memcpy(dst + half_key_sz - len, src, len)

When a CRT component is larger than half_key_sz the subtraction
underflows and memcpy writes past the DMA buffer, causing memory
corruption.

Add a len > half_key_sz check next to the existing !len check for each
of the five CRT components so the driver falls back to the non-CRT path
instead of writing out of bounds.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64304 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
