crypto: af_alg - zero initialize memory allocated via sock_kmalloc

2026-01-11T14:22:03+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

2025-09-25T09:00:09+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

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.

crypto: fix uninit-value in af_alg_free_resources

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

2023-08-11T11:19:27+00:00

crypto: af_alg - Fix missing initialisation affecting gcm-aes-s390

2023-08-04T09:09:26+00:00

Fix af_alg_alloc_areq() to initialise areq->first_rsgl.sgl.sgt.sgl to point to the scatterlist array in areq->first_rsgl.sgl.sgl. Without this, the gcm-aes-s390 driver will oops when it tries to do gcm_walk_start() on req->dst because req->dst is set to the value of areq->first_rsgl.sgl.sgl by _aead_recvmsg() calling aead_request_set_crypt(). The problem comes if an empty ciphertext is passed: the loop in af_alg_get_rsgl() just passes straight out and doesn't set areq->first_rsgl up. This isn't a problem on x86_64 using gcmaes_crypt_by_sg() because, as far as I can tell, that ignores req->dst and only uses req->src[*]. [*] Is this a bug in aesni-intel_glue.c?

crypto: af_alg - Fix merging of written data into spliced pages

2023-07-05T08:14:24+00:00

af_alg_sendmsg() takes data-to-be-copied that's provided by write(), send(), sendmsg() and similar into pages that it allocates and will merge new data into the last page in the list, based on the value of ctx->merge. Now that af_alg_sendmsg() accepts MSG_SPLICE_PAGES, it adds spliced pages directly into the list and then incorrectly appends data to them if there's space left because ctx->merge says that it can. This was cleared by af_alg_sendpage(), but that got lost. Fix this by skipping the merge if MSG_SPLICE_PAGES is specified and clearing ctx->merge after MSG_SPLICE_PAGES has added stuff to the list.
