Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-04-18 08:01:35 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ksmbd: use aead_request_free to match aead_request_alloc

Use aead_request_free() instead of kfree() to properly free memory
allocated by aead_request_alloc(). This ensures sensitive crypto data
is zeroed before being freed.
