"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ntcp: initialize standalone TCP-AO response padding\n\ntcp_v4_send_ack() and tcp_v6_send_response() construct standalone TCP\nresponses with TCP-AO options. The option length carries the actual MAC\nlength, but the TCP header length includes the option rounded up to a\nfour-byte boundary.\n\ntcp_ao_hash_hdr() writes the MAC only. Thus, when the MAC length is not\nfour-byte aligned, the one to three bytes after the MAC are left\nuninitialized and may be transmitted. For the normal TCP-AO hashing\nmode, those bytes also have to be initialized before computing the MAC.\n\nInitialize only the alignment padding in the TCP-AO branches, before\nhashing the header. Use TCPOPT_NOP, as in the normal TCP-AO output path.\nThis avoids adding work to non-AO TCP responses while preserving a valid\nauthenticated header."
