AI-suggested

A patch is available and should be applied to affected Linux kernel versions. The Ubuntu security advisory USN-8488-1 provides the official fix. Systems running the affected versions should be updated promptly to prevent exploitation. No additional mitigation is required beyond applying the official patch.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's crypto CCP driver could lead to a kernel buffer overflow and data leakage when retrieving the PEK CSR if the firmware command fails due to an invalid length. This flaw was fixed by ensuring the kernel does not copy data to userspace if the PSP command fails. The issue affects specific Linux kernel versions and has a CVSS score of 7.1, indicating a medium severity. A patch is available to address this vulnerability.
