What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ecryptfs: reject too-small tag 70 packets

ecryptfs_parse_tag_70_packet() subtracts fixed metadata fields from the

parsed packet body size to derive the encrypted filename size. A

malformed packet with a body smaller than those fixed fields can underflow

that size calculation.

Reject tag 70 packets before the subtraction unless the body contains the

signature, cipher code, and at least one byte of encrypted filename data.
