CVE-2026-46028
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: algif_aead - snapshot IV for async AEAD requests
AF_ALG AEAD AIO requests currently use the socket-wide IV buffer during request processing. For async requests, later socket activity can update that shared state before the original request has fully completed, which can lead to inconsistent IV handling.
Snapshot the IV into per-request storage when preparing the AEAD request, so in-flight operations no longer depend on mutable socket state.
