crypto: authencesn - reject short ahash digests during instance creation

2026-05-17T15:13:33+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

2026-04-30T09:17:21+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

2026-04-30T09:17:21+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

2026-04-30T09:17:21+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

2026-01-30T09:27:34+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: 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

crypto: authencesn - use crypto_grab_ahash() and simplify error paths

2020-01-09T03:30:55+00:00

Make the authencesn template use the new function crypto_grab_ahash() to initialize its ahash spawn. This is needed to make all spawns be initialized in a consistent way. Also simplify the error handling by taking advantage of crypto_drop_*() now accepting (as a no-op) spawns that haven't been initialized yet, and by taking advantage of crypto_grab_*() now handling ERR_PTR() names.

crypto: skcipher - pass instance to crypto_grab_skcipher()

2020-01-09T03:30:54+00:00

Initializing a crypto_skcipher_spawn currently requires: 1. Set spawn->base.inst to point to the instance. 2. Call crypto_grab_skcipher(). But there's no reason for these steps to be separate, and in fact this unneeded complication has caused at least one bug, the one fixed by commit 6db43410179b ("crypto: adiantum - initialize crypto_spawn::inst") So just make crypto_grab_skcipher() take the instance as an argument. To keep the function calls from getting too unwieldy due to this extra argument, also introduce a 'mask' variable into the affected places which weren't already using one.
