CVE-2026-31698
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: ccp: Don't attempt to copy PDH cert to userspace if PSP command failed
When retrieving the PDH cert, don't attempt to copy the blobs to userspace if the firmware command failed. If the failure was due to an invalid length, i.e. the userspace buffer+length was too small, copying the number of bytes _firmware_ requires will overflow the kernel-allocated buffer and leak data to userspace.

WARN if the driver says the command succeeded, but the firmware error code says otherwise, as __sev_do_cmd_locked() is expected to return -EIO on any firwmware error.
