Vulnerability Description

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

rxrpc: reject undecryptable rxkad response tickets

rxkad_decrypt_ticket() decrypts the RXKAD response ticket and then
parses the buffer as plaintext without checking whether
crypto_skcipher_decrypt() succeeded.

A malformed RESPONSE can therefore use a non-block-aligned ticket
length, make the decrypt operation fail, and still drive the ticket
parser with attacker-controlled bytes.

Check the decrypt result and abort the connection with RXKADBADTICKET
when ticket decryption fails.
