Description:
A security issue has been reported in the Linux Kernel, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information.
The security issue is caused due to the AMD GEODE-AES driver not correctly setting the encryption key. This results in a weak encryption, which can be exploited to disclose potentially sensitive information.
