CVE-2024-26584 is an incorrect status-code handling flaw in the Linux kernel TLS subsystem's asynchronous AEAD cryptographic request processing. TLS crypto requests are submitted with CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG. Under valid crypto backlogging conditions, such as a saturated cryptd AES-NI queue, the crypto API can return -EBUSY while retaining the request for later processing, rather than returning -EINPROGRESS. The affected TLS handling did not correctly treat this valid asynchronous state; a backlogged request may also produce an initial asynchronous callback with -EINPROGRESS followed by a successful completion callback. The upstream correction uses TLS asynchronous-crypto wait helpers and translates -EBUSY to -EINPROGRESS, preserving the established asynchronous error-handling path.
