CVE-2026-80836

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

crypto: virtio - bound the akcipher result length

virtiocryptodataqakciphercallback() sets the result length from the device-reported response length without bounding it to the destination buffer, which was allocated for the original request length. sgcopyfrom_buffer() then reads that many bytes from the destination buffer; a backend reporting a larger length over-reads adjacent kernel heap into the caller's scatterlist (an out-of-bounds read).

Clamp the reported length to the originally requested destination length. A conforming device reports no more than that, so valid results are unaffected.
