Summary
[none]
Details

The HMAC implementation (crypto/hmac.c) in the Linux kernel before 4.14.8 does not validate that the underlying cryptographic hash algorithm is unkeyed, allowing a local attacker able to use the AFALG-based hash interface (CONFIGCRYPTOUSERAPIHASH) and the SHA-3 hash algorithm (CONFIGCRYPTO_SHA3) to cause a kernel stack buffer overflow by executing a crafted sequence of system calls that encounter a missing SHA-3 initialization.
