      "value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ncrypto: acomp - allocate async request context when cloning\n\nACOMP_REQUEST_ON_STACK() reserves only enough storage for the\nsynchronous fallback. When an async implementation is selected, callers\nclone that stack request before retrying, but acomp_request_clone()\ncurrently copies only the stack-sized object. The clone therefore has no\nstorage for the async provider request context, and providers such as QAT\nwrite past the allocation through acomp_request_ctx(). KASAN does report\na slab OOB write.\n\nAllocate a zeroed clone large enough for the runtime acomp request size,\ncopy only the bytes present in the source object, and preserve the\nexisting fallback-on-allocation-failure behavior. Use the runtime reqsize\nbecause an implementation may adjust it during tfm initialization."
