crypto: authencesn - reject short ahash digests during instance creation

2026-05-07T04:09:47+00:00

commit 5db6ef9847717329f12c5ea8aba7e9f588a980c0 upstream. authencesn requires either a zero authsize or an authsize of at least 4 bytes because the ESN encrypt/decrypt paths always move 4 bytes of high-order sequence number data at the end of the authenticated data. While crypto_authenc_esn_setauthsize() already rejects explicit non-zero authsizes in the range 1..3, crypto_authenc_esn_create() still copied auth->digestsize into inst->alg.maxauthsize without validating it. The AEAD core then initialized the tfm's default authsize from that value. As a result, selecting an ahash with digest size 1..3, such as cbcmac(cipher_null), exposed authencesn instances whose default authsize was invalid even though setauthsize() would have rejected the same value. AF_ALG could then trigger the ESN tail handling with a too-short tag and hit an out-of-bounds access. Reject authencesn instances whose ahash digest size is in the invalid non-zero range 1..3 so that no tfm can inherit an unsupported default authsize.

crypto: authencesn - Fix src offset when decrypting in-place

2026-04-30T09:14:46+00:00

commit 1f48ad3b19a9dfc947868edda0bb8e48e5b5a8fa upstream. The src SG list offset wasn't set properly when decrypting in-place, fix it.

crypto: authencesn - Do not place hiseq at end of dst for out-of-place decryption

2026-04-30T09:14:46+00:00

commit e02494114ebf7c8b42777c6cd6982f113bfdbec7 upstream. When decrypting data that is not in-place (src != dst), there is no need to save the high-order sequence bits in dst as it could simply be re-copied from the source. However, the data to be hashed need to be rearranged accordingly.

crypto: authenc - use memcpy_sglist() instead of null skcipher

2026-04-30T09:14:46+00:00

commit dbc4b1458e931e47198c3165ff5853bc1ad6bd7a upstream. For copying data between two scatterlists, just use memcpy_sglist() instead of the so-called "null skcipher". This is much simpler.

crypto: authencesn - reject too-short AAD (assoclen<8) to match ESP/ESN spec

2026-01-30T09:28:39+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2397e9264676be7794f8f7f1e9763d90bd3c7335 ] authencesn assumes an ESP/ESN-formatted AAD. When assoclen is shorter than the minimum expected length, crypto_authenc_esn_decrypt() can advance past the end of the destination scatterlist and trigger a NULL pointer dereference in scatterwalk_map_and_copy(), leading to a kernel panic (DoS). Add a minimum AAD length check to fail fast on invalid inputs.

crypto: authencesn - stop using alignmask of ahash

Now that the alignmask for ahash and shash algorithms is always 0, simplify the code in authenc accordingly. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: authencesn - Only access common skcipher fields on spawn

2023-10-13T10:27:26+00:00

As skcipher spawns may be of the type lskcipher, only the common fields may be accessed. This was already the case but use the correct helpers to make this more obvious. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: api - Use data directly in completion function

crypto: algapi - use common mechanism for inheriting flags

2020-07-16T11:49:08+00:00

The flag CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC is "inherited" in the sense that when a template is instantiated, the template will have CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC set if any of the algorithms it uses has CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC set. We'd like to add a second flag (CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY) that gets "inherited" in the same way. This is difficult because the handling of CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC is hardcoded everywhere. Address this by: - Add CRYPTO_ALG_INHERITED_FLAGS, which contains the set of flags that have these inheritance semantics. - Add crypto_algt_inherited_mask(), for use by template ->create() methods. It returns any of these flags that the user asked to be unset and thus must be passed in the 'mask' to crypto_grab_*(). - Also modify crypto_check_attr_type() to handle computing the 'mask' so that most templates can just use this. - Make crypto_grab_*() propagate these flags to the template instance being created so that templates don't have to do this themselves. Make crypto/simd.c propagate these flags too, since it "wraps" another algorithm, similar to a template.

crypto: authencesn - fix weird comma-terminated line

2020-03-06T01:28:22+00:00

Fix a weird case where a line was terminated by a comma rather than a semicolon, causing the statement to be continued on the next line. Fortunately the code still behaved as intended, though. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu
