Description
A flaw was found in the clevis PKCS#11 pin. The clevis-pkcs11-afunix-socket-unlock daemon crashes when an AF_UNIX client connects to the data socket without a bound address, due to an integer underflow in the getpeername result handling. This causes a denial of service, preventing LUKS disk decryption from completing during boot.
Analysis and contextual insights are available on OpenCVE Cloud.
Remediation
Vendor Workaround
No additional end-user mitigation is needed. Under the default systemd configuration, the data socket is only accessible by root, preventing unprivileged users from triggering the crash.
