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

keys/trusted_keys: return immediately after TPM unseal failure

trusted_tpm_unseal() proceeds to pcrlock() when the TPM unseal operation fails. If pcrlock() succeeds, its return value overwrites the unseal error, causing key instantiation to succeed.

Return immediately when unseal fails to preserve the original error.

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen im Linux Kernel ausnutzen, um einen nicht näher spezifizierten Angriff durchzuführen, darunter möglicherweise die Auslösung eines Denial-of-Service-Angriffs, die Manipulation oder Offenlegung von Daten, die Ausführung von beliebigem Code, die Erlangung erweiterter Berechtigungen oder die Umgehung von Sicherheitsmaßnahmen.
