Linux kernel may lose network packets with async AH encryption

published 5 months ago
Summary

The Linux kernel's handling of a specific network security feature (AH with extended sequence numbers) was incorrect when using asynchronous cryptographic operations, causing packets to be dropped on IPv4 and potentially IPv6. This could disrupt communications that rely on this feature. Updating the kernel to the latest version resolves the issue and restores normal packet flow.
