CVE-2025-39964

5.5 medium KEV · due 2026-09-21 exploit ×2 SSVC exploitation: active Analyzed
NVD · CVE.org · CISA KEV

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: af_alg - Disallow concurrent writes in af_alg_sendmsg Issuing two writes to the same af_alg socket is bogus as the data will be interleaved in an unpredictable fashion. Furthermore, concurrent writes may create inconsistencies in the internal socket state. Disallow this by adding a new ctx->write field that indiciates exclusive ownership for writing.
