What to do

AI-suggested

A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel source code to use print_hex_dump_devel() for key dumps, mitigating the risk of key leakage when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is enabled. Users should update their Linux kernel to a version that includes this fix. Since this is a source code level fix, applying the updated kernel from the official vendor or distribution is the recommended remediation. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed here; check the vendor advisory or kernel release notes for the exact fixed versions and update accordingly.

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: caam - use print_hex_dump_devel to guard key hex dumps Use print_hex_dump_devel() for dumping sensitive key material in *_setkey() to avoid leaking secrets at runtime when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is enabled.
