crypto: af_alg - zero initialize memory allocated via sock_kmalloc

2026-01-08T09:14:28+00:00

commit 6f6e309328d53a10c0fe1f77dec2db73373179b6 upstream. Several crypto user API contexts and requests allocated with sock_kmalloc() were left uninitialized, relying on callers to set fields explicitly. This resulted in the use of uninitialized data in certain error paths or when new fields are added in the future. The ACVP patches also contain two user-space interface files: algif_kpp.c and algif_akcipher.c. These too rely on proper initialization of their context structures. A particular issue has been observed with the newly added 'inflight' variable introduced in af_alg_ctx by commit: 67b164a871af ("crypto: af_alg - Disallow multiple in-flight AIO requests") Because the context is not memset to zero after allocation, the inflight variable has contained garbage values. As a result, af_alg_alloc_areq() has incorrectly returned -EBUSY randomly when the garbage value was interpreted as true: https://github.com/gregkh/linux/blame/master/crypto/af_alg.c#L1209 The check directly tests ctx->inflight without explicitly comparing against true/false. Since inflight is only ever set to true or false later, an uninitialized value has triggered -EBUSY failures. Zero-initializing memory allocated with sock_kmalloc() ensures inflight and other fields start in a known state, removing random issues caused by uninitialized data.

crypto: af_alg - Set merge to zero early in af_alg_sendmsg

2025-09-25T09:13:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9574b2330dbd2b5459b74d3b5e9619d39299fc6f ] If an error causes af_alg_sendmsg to abort, ctx->merge may contain a garbage value from the previous loop. This may then trigger a crash on the next entry into af_alg_sendmsg when it attempts to do a merge that can't be done. Fix this by setting ctx->merge to zero near the start of the loop.

crypto: af_alg - Disallow concurrent writes in af_alg_sendmsg

2025-09-25T09:13:45+00:00

commit 1b34cbbf4f011a121ef7b2d7d6e6920a036d5285 upstream. Issuing two writes to the same af_alg socket is bogus as the data will be interleaved in an unpredictable fashion. Furthermore, concurrent writes may create inconsistencies in the internal socket state. Disallow this by adding a new ctx->write field that indiciates exclusive ownership for writing.

net: change proto and proto_ops accept type

2024-05-14T00:19:09+00:00

Rather than pass in flags, error pointer, and whether this is a kernel invocation or not, add a struct proto_accept_arg struct as the argument. This then holds all of these arguments, and prepares accept for being able to pass back more information. No functional changes in this patch. Acked-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

net: add sk_wake_async_rcu() helper

2024-03-29T22:03:11+00:00

While looking at UDP receive performance, I saw sk_wake_async() was no longer inlined. This matters at least on AMD Zen1-4 platforms (see SRSO) This might be because rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() are no longer nops in recent kernels ? Add sk_wake_async_rcu() variant, which must be called from contexts already holding rcu lock. As SOCK_FASYNC is deprecated in modern days, use unlikely() to give a hint to the compiler. sk_wake_async_rcu() is properly inlined from __udp_enqueue_schedule_skb() and sock_def_readable().

crypto: af_alg - Disallow multiple in-flight AIO requests

Having multiple in-flight AIO requests results in unpredictable output because they all share the same IV. Fix this by only allowing one request at a time.

crypto: fix uninit-value in af_alg_free_resources

2023-08-18T10:30:09+00:00

Syzbot was able to trigger use of uninitialized memory in af_alg_free_resources. Bug is caused by missing initialization of rsgl->sgl.need_unpin before adding to rsgl_list.

crypto: af_alg - Decrement struct key.usage in alg_set_by_key_serial()
