  • Its a valid use case to have null associated data in a ccm vector, but
    this case isn't being handled properly right now.

    The following ccm decryption/verification test vector, using the
    rfc4309 implementation regularly triggers a panic, as will any
    other vector with null assoc data:

    * key: ab2f8a74b71cd2b1ff802e487d82f8b9
    * iv: c6fb7d800d13abd8a6b2d8
    * Associated Data: [NULL]
    * Tag Length: 8
    * input: d5e8939fc7892e2b

    The resulting panic looks like so:

    The above is from a RHEL5-based kernel, but upstream is susceptible too.

    The fix is trivial: in crypto/ccm.c:crypto_ccm_auth(), pctx->ilen contains
    whatever was in memory when pctx was allocated if assoclen is 0. The tested
    fix is to simply add an else clause setting pctx->ilen to 0 for the
    assoclen == 0 case, so that get_data_to_compute() doesn't try doing
    things its not supposed to.
