CVE-2026-64529

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: qat - remove unused character device and IOCTLs The QAT driver exposes a character device (qat_adf_ctl) with IOCTLs for device configuration, start, stop, status query and enumeration. These IOCTLs are not part of any public uAPI header and have no known in-tree or out-of-tree users. Device lifecycle is already managed via sysfs. The ioctl interface also increases the attack surface and is the subject of a number of bug reports. Remove the character device, the IOCTL definitions, and the related data structures (adf_dev_status_info, adf_user_cfg_key_val, adf_user_cfg_section, adf_user_cfg_ctl_data). Drop the now-unused adf_cfg_user.h header and strip adf_ctl_drv.c down to the minimal module_init/module_exit hooks for workqueue, AER, and crypto/compression algorithm registration. Clean up leftover dead code that was only reachable from the removed IOCTL paths: adf_cfg_del_all(), adf_devmgr_verify_id(), adf_devmgr_get_num_dev(), adf_devmgr_get_dev_by_id(), adf_get_vf_real_id() and the unused ADF_CFG macros. Additionally, drop the entry associated to QAT IOCTLs in ioctl-number.rst.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta: crypto: qat - eliminar dispositivo de caracteres y IOCTLs no utilizados El controlador QAT expone un dispositivo de caracteres (qat_adf_ctl) con IOCTLs para configuración de dispositivo, inicio, detención, consulta de estado y enumeración. Estos IOCTLs no forman parte de ningún encabezado uAPI público y no tienen usuarios conocidos dentro o fuera del árbol. El ciclo de vida del dispositivo ya se gestiona a través de sysfs. La interfaz ioctl también aumenta la superficie de ataque y es objeto de varios informes de errores. Eliminar el dispositivo de caracteres, las definiciones de IOCTL y las estructuras de datos relacionadas (adf_dev_status_info, adf_user_cfg_key_val, adf_user_cfg_section, adf_user_cfg_ctl_data). Eliminar el encabezado adf_cfg_user.h ahora no utilizado y reducir adf_ctl_drv.c a los ganchos mínimos module_init/module_exit para el registro de workqueue, AER y algoritmos de criptografía/compresión. Limpiar el código muerto restante que solo era accesible desde las rutas de IOCTL eliminadas: adf_cfg_del_all(), adf_devmgr_verify_id(), adf_devmgr_get_num_dev(), adf_devmgr_get_dev_by_id(), adf_get_vf_real_id() y las macros ADF_CFG no utilizadas. Además, eliminar la entrada asociada a los IOCTLs de QAT en ioctl-number.rst.
