CVE-2026-72151NVD

Vulnerability Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tpm: tpm2-sessions: wait for async KPP completion in tpm_buf_append_salt

tpm_buf_append_salt() in drivers/char/tpm/tpm2-sessions.c calls
crypto_kpp_generate_public_key() and crypto_kpp_compute_shared_secret()
without installing a completion callback, discards both return values,
and immediately frees the kpp_request via kpp_request_free(). When the
resolved ecdh-nist-p256 KPP backend is asynchronous (atmel-ecc, HPRE,
keembay-ocs), either operation returns -EINPROGRESS and the deferred
completion worker dereferences the freed request.

The path fires automatically from the hwrng_fillfn kernel thread via
tpm_get_random -> tpm2_get_random -> tpm2_start_auth_session ->
tpm_buf_append_salt on every entropy poll, without any userland action.

Install crypto_req_done as the completion callback, wrap both KPP
operations in crypto_wait_req(), and propagate errors to the caller.
The wait is a no-op for synchronous backends.
