Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's crypto: caam component. This vulnerability allows for the disclosure of sensitive HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code) key bytes at runtime. The issue occurs because the hash_digest_key() function uses print_hex_dump_devel() without proper guarding, which can expose these keys when the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG option is enabled. This information disclosure could potentially allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to or tamper with data protected by these keys.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-06-08 17:03:26 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crypto: caam - guard HMAC key hex dumps in hash_digest_key

Use print_hex_dump_devel() for dumping sensitive HMAC key bytes in
hash_digest_key() to avoid leaking secrets at runtime when
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is enabled.
