Title
crypto: tegra - fix rctx->cryptlen calculation in tegra_gcm_do_one_req()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: tegra - fix rctx->cryptlen calculation in tegra_gcm_do_one_req()
Perform rctx->cryptlen calculation in tegra_gcm_do_one_req() the same way
it is done in tegra_ccm_crypt_init(). The current formulae may lead to a
crash if a caller does not call tegra_gcm_setauthsize() and so ctx->authsize
remains zero. Then a decrypt operation with incorrect rctx->cryptlen will
lead to a write beyound rctx->dst_sg buffer.
As a follow-up cleanup delete struct tegra_aead_ctx->authsize field since
it appears to be completely unused. Also simplify tegra_ccm_setauthsize()
and tegra_gcm_setauthsize() functions respectively.

"value": "AV:L - The flaw is in the Tegra Security Engine gcm(aes) driver reached via the kernel crypto API (AF_ALG socket syscalls); major network consumers call setauthsize and are not affected, and the driver only exists on Tegra234 platforms with TEGRA_HOST1X.\nAC:L - On affected Tegra systems with tegra-se loaded, an attacker reliably triggers the bug by issuing a GCM decrypt through AF_ALG without calling ALG_SET_AEAD_AUTHSIZE, relying on the default 16-byte tag while ctx-\u003eauthsize remains zero.\nPR:L - Triggering tegra GCM decrypt via AF_ALG requires only an unprivileged local user able to open AF_ALG sockets and bind to gcm(aes); no CAP_SYS_ADMIN, real root, or container-escaping capabilities are needed on standard configurations.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires no victim interaction such as mounting filesystems or opening files; the attacker directly submits crafted decrypt requests through the local crypto interface.\nS:U - Impact is kernel heap/memory corruption and potential privilege escalation within the same kernel security domain; it does not cross VM, container, or IOMMU boundaries.\nC:H - The out-of-bounds write corrupts memory adjacent to the destination scatterlist buffer; such heap corruption can expose kernel pointers or other sensitive data and is rated High per memory-corruption guidance.\nI:H - Decrypt uses an inflated cryptlen so scatterwalk_map_and_copy writes up to 16 bytes beyond the caller-allocated dst_sg buffer with no bounds checking, constituting an exploitable out-of-bounds write primitive.\nA:H - Writing past the destination scatterlist can corrupt adjacent kernel structures and cause kernel oops or panic; the fix commit explicitly describes this as a crash-causing out-of-bounds write condition."
