CVE-2026-80520
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ovpn: fix NULL dereference when killing missing key
ovpn_crypto_kill_key assumes both crypto slots are populated and
dereferences each slot before checking it. That is not guaranteed: a
peer can have only one installed key, and the kill path may be asked to
remove a key that is not present.
Read each slot once while holding the crypto state lock, check for NULL
before looking at key_id, and only replace the slot that actually
matches.
