Amazon Linux 2023: CVE-2024-26584: Medium priority package update for kernel (Multiple Advisories)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: tls: handle backlogging of crypto requests
Since we're setting the CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG flag on our
requests to the crypto API, crypto_aead_{encrypt,decrypt} can return
-EBUSY instead of -EINPROGRESS in valid situations. For example, when
the cryptd queue for AESNI is full (easy to trigger with an
artificially low cryptd.cryptd_max_cpu_qlen), requests will be enqueued
to the backlog but still processed. In that case, the async callback
will also be called twice: first with err == -EINPROGRESS, which it
seems we can just ignore, then with err == 0.
Compared to Sabrina's original patch this version uses the new
tls_*crypt_async_wait() helpers and converts the EBUSY to
EINPROGRESS to avoid having to modify all the error handling
paths. The handling is identical.
A flaw was found in the tls subsystem of the Linux kernel. When setting the CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG flag on requests to the crypto API, crypto_aead_encrypt and crypto_aead_decrypt functions can return -EBUSY instead of -EINPROGRESS in valid situations. This issue could lead to undefined behavior and a denial of service condition.
