description
Linux kernels using TIPC encrypted communication can reuse an AES-GCM nonce after a peer changes its receiving key. An attacker able to influence the relevant TIPC peer state and capture traffic may be able to disclose protected data or produce modified traffic that is accepted as authentic.
mitigation
Install a kernel build containing the applicable fix: 5c8ce13c792e28d56f9ec3cd6728d8225bc0e3a2, f74f100e49588c1dbdc6ab3ba9e2c67b36d015d0, 60e0c2aeaa605ff19ca4e65126a35643d4d7ee1c, or 512ccd3d0e91e791fb37442aa0a2599aca19783d. Until patched, disable TIPC where it is unnecessary and limit TIPC connectivity to trusted nodes.
fixed in 5c8ce13c792e28d56f9ec3cd6728d8225bc0e3a2, f74f100e49588c1dbdc6ab3ba9e2c67b36d015d0, 60e0c2aeaa605ff19ca4e65126a35643d4d7ee1c, 512ccd3d0e91e791fb37442aa0a2599aca19783d
outcome
Contextual: an exploit technique exists, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
