  • When we need to allocate a temporary blkcipher_walk_next and it
    fails, the code is supposed to take the slow path of processing
    the data block by block. However, due to an unrelated change
    we instead end up dereferencing the NULL pointer.

    This patch fixes it by moving the unrelated bsize setting out
    of the way so that we enter the slow path as inteded.

  • This patch removes the old crypto_grab_skcipher helper and replaces
    it with crypto_grab_skcipher2.

    As this is the final entry point into givcipher this patch also
    removes all traces of the top-level givcipher interface, including
    all implicit IV generators such as chainiv.

    The bottom-level givcipher interface remains until the drivers
    using it are converted.

  • Some ciphers actually support encrypting zero length plaintexts. For
    example, many AEAD modes support this. The resulting ciphertext for
    those winds up being only the authentication tag, which is a result of
    the key, the iv, the additional data, and the fact that the plaintext
    had zero length. The blkcipher constructors won't copy the IV to the
    right place, however, when using a zero length input, resulting in
    some significant problems when ciphers call their initialization
    routines, only to find that the ->iv parameter is uninitialized. One
    such example of this would be using chacha20poly1305 with a zero length
    input, which then calls chacha20, which calls the key setup routine,
    which eventually OOPSes due to the uninitialized ->iv member.

  • Three errors resulting in kernel memory disclosure:

    1/ The structures used for the netlink based crypto algorithm report API
    are located on the stack. As snprintf() does not fill the remainder of
    the buffer with null bytes, those stack bytes will be disclosed to users
    of the API. Switch to strncpy() to fix this.

    2/ crypto_report_one() does not initialize all field of struct
    crypto_user_alg. Fix this to fix the heap info leak.

    3/ For the module name we should copy only as many bytes as
    module_name() returns -- not as much as the destination buffer could
    hold. But the current code does not and therefore copies random data
    from behind the end of the module name, as the module name is always
    shorter than CRYPTO_MAX_ALG_NAME.

    Also switch to use strncpy() to copy the algorithm's name and
    driver_name. They are strings, after all.

  • When an skcipher constructed through crypto_givcipher_default fails
    its selftest, we'll loop forever trying to construct new skcipher
    objects but failing because it already exists.

    The crux of the issue is that once a givcipher fails the selftest,
    we'll ignore it on the next run through crypto_skcipher_lookup and
    attempt to construct a new givcipher.

    We should instead return an error to the caller if we find a
    givcipher that has failed the test.

  • When we get left-over bits from a slow walk, it means that the
    underlying cipher has gone troppo. However, as we're handling
    that case we should ensure that the caller terminates the walk.

    This patch does this by setting walk->nbytes to zero.

  • This patch makes crypto_alloc_ablkcipher/crypto_grab_skcipher always
    return algorithms that are capable of generating their own IVs through
    givencrypt and givdecrypt. Each algorithm may specify its default IV
    generator through the geniv field.

    For algorithms that do not set the geniv field, the blkcipher layer will
    pick a default. Currently it's chainiv for synchronous algorithms and
    eseqiv for asynchronous algorithms. Note that if these wrappers do not
    work on an algorithm then that algorithm must specify its own geniv or
    it can't be used at all.

  • Up until now we have ablkcipher algorithms have been identified as
    type BLKCIPHER with the ASYNC bit set. This is suboptimal because
    ablkcipher refers to two things. On the one hand it refers to the
    top-level ablkcipher interface with requests. On the other hand it
    refers to and algorithm type underneath.

    As it is you cannot request a synchronous block cipher algorithm
    with the ablkcipher interface on top. This is a problem because
    we want to be able to eventually phase out the blkcipher top-level
    interface.

    This patch fixes this by making ABLKCIPHER its own type, just as
    we have distinct types for HASH and DIGEST. The type it associated
    with the algorithm implementation only.

    Which top-level interface is used for synchronous block ciphers is
    then determined by the mask that's used. If it's a specific mask
    then the old blkcipher interface is given, otherwise we go with the
    new ablkcipher interface.

  • The function blkcipher_get_spot tries to return a buffer of
    the specified length that does not straddle a page. It has
    an off-by-one bug so it may advance a page unnecessarily.

    What's worse, one of its callers doesn't provide a buffer
    that's sufficiently long for this operation.

    This patch fixes both problems. Thanks to Bob Gilligan for
    diagnosing this problem and providing a fix.

  • This patch adds the frontend interface for asynchronous block ciphers.
    In addition to the usual block cipher parameters, there is a callback
    function pointer and a data pointer. The callback will be invoked only
    if the encrypt/decrypt handlers return -EINPROGRESS. In other words,
    if the return value of zero the completion handler (or the equivalent
    code) needs to be invoked by the caller.

    The request structure is allocated and freed by the caller. Its size
    is determined by calling crypto_ablkcipher_reqsize(). The helpers
    ablkcipher_request_alloc/ablkcipher_request_free can be used to manage
    the memory for a request.

  • This patch adds the new type of block ciphers. Unlike current cipher
    algorithms which operate on a single block at a time, block ciphers
    operate on an arbitrarily long linear area of data. As it is block-based,
    it will skip any data remaining at the end which cannot form a block.

    The block cipher has one major difference when compared to the existing
    block cipher implementation. The sg walking is now performed by the
    algorithm rather than the cipher mid-layer. This is needed for drivers
    that directly support sg lists. It also improves performance for all
    algorithms as it reduces the total number of indirect calls by one.

    In future the existing cipher algorithm will be converted to only have
    a single-block interface. This will be done after all existing users
    have switched over to the new block cipher type.
