AI-suggested

A fix is available and has been applied in the Linux kernel after version 5.3, as indicated by the listed fixed commit hashes. Users should update their Linux kernel to a version including these fixes to remediate the vulnerability.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's crypto subsystem (atmel-sha204a) was fixed to address a memory management issue where a failure in memory allocation could cause a reference count (->tfm_count) leak. This leak could block future read operations. The issue affects Linux kernel version 5.3 and has been resolved in subsequent commits.
