NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-6.12 package and not the linux-6.12 package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

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

crypto: ecc - Fix carry overflow in vli multiplication

The carry flag calculation fails when r01.m_high is saturated (0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF) and addition of lower bits overflows.

The condition (r01.m_high < product.m_high) doesn't handle the case where r01.m_high == product.m_high and an additional carry exists from lower-bit overflow.

When commit 3c4b23901a0c ("crypto: ecdh - Add ECDH software support") introduced crypto/ecc.c, it split the muladd() function in the micro-ecc library into separate mul_64_64() and add_128_128() helpers. It seems the check got lost in translation.

Add proper handling for this boundary by accounting for the carry from the lower addition.
