For async requests, later socket activity can\nupdate that shared state before the original request has fully\ncompleted, which can lead to inconsistent IV handling.\n\nSnapshot the IV into per-request storage when preparing the AEAD\nrequest, so in-flight operations no longer depend on mutable socket\nstate.","published":"2026-05-27T14:17:21.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T10:52:56.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":[],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00123,"percentile":0.0201,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.12%).
