crypto: rng - Free default RNG on module exit

2026-07-24T14:03:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit 606ba888b98e0d26a2c4e5c8dc0542e3ad8f0f3a ] When the rng module is removed the default RNG will be leaked. Call crypto_del_default_rng to free it if possible.

crypto: rng - Ensure set_ent is always present

2025-10-12T10:56:23+00:00

commit c0d36727bf39bb16ef0a67ed608e279535ebf0da upstream. Ensure that set_ent is always set since only drbg provides it. Fixes: 77ebdabe8de7 ("crypto: af_alg - add extra parameters for DRBG interface") Reported-by: Yiqi Sun Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

crypto: api - Fix CRYPTO_USER checks for report function

2023-05-02T10:22:24+00:00

Checking the config via ifdef incorrectly compiles out the report functions when CRYPTO_USER is set to =m. Fix it by using IS_ENABLED() instead. Fixes: c0f9e01dd266 ("crypto: api - Check CRYPTO_USER instead of NET for report") Signed-off-by: Ondrej Mosnacek Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: api - Check CRYPTO_USER instead of NET for report

2023-03-14T09:06:42+00:00

The report function is currently conditionalised on CONFIG_NET. As it's only used by CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER, conditionalising on that instead of CONFIG_NET makes more sense. This gets rid of a rarely used code-path. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: rng - Count error stats differently

2023-03-14T09:06:42+00:00

Move all stat code specific to rng into the rng code. While we're at it, change the stats so that bytes and counts are always incremented even in case of error. This allows the reference counting to be removed as we can now increment the counters prior to the operation. After the operation we simply increase the error count if necessary. This is safe as errors can only occur synchronously (or rather, the existing code already ignored asynchronous errors which are only visible to the callback function). Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

crypto: rng - fix crypto_rng_reset() refcounting when !CRYPTO_STATS

2021-04-02T07:28:12+00:00

crypto_stats_get() is a no-op when the kernel is compiled without CONFIG_CRYPTO_STATS, so pairing it with crypto_alg_put() unconditionally (as crypto_rng_reset() does) is wrong. Fix this by moving the call to crypto_stats_get() to just before the actual algorithm operation which might need it. This makes it always paired with crypto_stats_rng_seed().

mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive()

2020-08-07T18:33:22+00:00

As said by Linus: A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use. Otherwise it's actively misleading. In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the caller wants. In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_. The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory objects. Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit. In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure that it won't get optimized away by the compiler. The renaming is done by using the command sequence: git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\ xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/' followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

crypto: user - fix use_after_free of struct xxx_request

2018-12-07T06:15:00+00:00

All crypto_stats functions use the struct xxx_request for feeding stats, but in some case this structure could already be freed. For fixing this, the needed parameters (len and alg) will be stored before the request being executed.
