crypto: af_alg - zero initialize memory allocated via sock_kmalloc

2025-10-17T08:03:57+00:00

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.

sock: Remove ->sendpage*() in favour of sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES)

2023-06-24T22:50:13+00:00

Remove ->sendpage() and ->sendpage_locked(). sendmsg() with MSG_SPLICE_PAGES should be used instead. This allows multiple pages and multipage folios to be passed through.

crypto: af_alg - add extra parameters for DRBG interface

2020-09-25T07:48:52+00:00

Extend the user-space RNG interface: 1. Add entropy input via ALG_SET_DRBG_ENTROPY setsockopt option; 2. Add additional data input via sendmsg syscall. This allows DRBG to be tested with test vectors, for example for the purpose of CAVP testing, which otherwise isn't possible. To prevent erroneous use of entropy input, it is hidden under CRYPTO_USER_API_RNG_CAVP config option and requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN to succeed.

crypto: algif_rng - remove redundant assignment to variable err

2020-04-24T07:42:16+00:00

The variable err is being initialized with a value that is never read and it is being updated later with a new value. The initialization is redundant and can be removed. Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value") Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: algif_rng - zeroize buffer with random data

Due to the change to RNGs to always return zero in success case, the RNG interface must zeroize the buffer with the length provided by the caller. Signed-off-by: Stephan Mueller Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

net: Remove iocb argument from sendmsg and recvmsg

2015-03-02T18:06:31+00:00

After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now. Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire networking stack.
