Technical description

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

crypto: ccp: Don't attempt to copy ID to userspace if PSP command failed

When retrieving the ID for the CPU, don't attempt to copy the ID blob to

userspace if the firmware command failed. If the failure was due to an

invalid length, i.e. the userspace buffer+length was too small, copying

the number of bytes _firmware_ requires will overflow the kernel-allocated

buffer and leak data to userspace.
