crypto: algif_skcipher - force synchronous processing on trees without ctx->state

2026-07-24T14:02:56+00:00

The AIO/async path in skcipher_recvmsg() passes the socket-wide ctx->iv directly into the skcipher request. After io_submit() the socket lock is dropped and the request is processed asynchronously, so a concurrent sendmsg(ALG_SET_IV) can overwrite ctx->iv and make the in-flight request run under an attacker-controlled IV. For CTR/stream modes this is IV/keystream reuse and lets an unprivileged user recover the plaintext of a concurrent operation. Snapshotting ctx->iv into per-request storage for the async path is not sufficient. For ciphers with statesize == 0 - which includes cbc and ctr - the MSG_MORE inter-chunk IV chaining is carried solely by the in-place req->iv writeback, which a snapshot redirects into per-request memory that af_alg_free_resources() releases on completion, silently producing wrong output. Writing the IV back from the completion callback instead is not possible either: that would require lock_sock() there, but the callback can run in softirq/atomic context, so it must not sleep. Make the operation synchronous instead, which removes both the IV race and any writeback race. This is equivalent to the upstream resolution, commit fcc77d33a34c ("net: Remove support for AIO on sockets"), which removed the AIO socket path across net/ entirely and so produces the same end state for this file. This patch deviates from that commit deliberately: rather than removing AIO socket support tree-wide, which would be far too invasive for stable, it removes only the AIO branch in crypto/algif_skcipher.c. io_submit() now completes synchronously; AF_ALG async is rarely used in practice. The -EIOCBQUEUED check in skcipher_recvmsg() is now dead but harmless, and is left alone to keep the fix minimal. Tested on 6.6.y: attacker IV injection dropped from 2296/200000 to 0/200000 after the change; MSG_MORE chunked CTR output bit-identical to single-shot.

crypto: algif_aead - Revert to operating out-of-place

2026-04-30T09:17:21+00:00

commit a664bf3d603dc3bdcf9ae47cc21e0daec706d7a5 upstream. This mostly reverts commit 72548b093ee3 except for the copying of the associated data. There is no benefit in operating in-place in algif_aead since the source and destination come from different mappings. Get rid of all the complexity added for in-place operation and just copy the AD directly.

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.

I removed the MAY_BACKLOG flag on the aio path a while ago but the error check still incorrectly interpreted EBUSY as success. This may cause the submitter to wait for a request that will never complete. Fixes: dad419970637 ("crypto: algif_skcipher - Do not set...") Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: algif_aead - fix uninitialized ctx->init

2020-08-13T07:09:32+00:00

In skcipher_accept_parent_nokey() the whole af_alg_ctx structure is cleared by memset() after allocation, so add such memset() also to aead_accept_parent_nokey() so that the new "init" field is also initialized to zero. Without that the initial ctx->init checks might randomly return true and cause errors. While there, also remove the redundant zero assignments in both functions. Found via libkcapi testsuite.
