This resulted in the use of uninitialized\ndata in certain error paths or when new fields are added in the\nfuture.\n\nThe ACVP patches also contain two user-space interface files:\nalgif_kpp.c and algif_akcipher.c. These too rely on proper\ninitialization of their context structures.\n\nA particular issue has been observed with the newly added\n'inflight' variable introduced in af_alg_ctx by commit:\n\n 67b164a871af (\"crypto: af_alg - Disallow multiple in-flight AIO requests\")\n\nBecause the context is not memset to zero after allocation,\nthe inflight variable has contained garbage values. As a result,\naf_alg_alloc_areq() has incorrectly returned -EBUSY randomly when\nthe garbage value was interpreted as true:\n\n https://github.com/gregkh/linux/blame/master/crypto/af_alg.c#L1209\n\nThe check directly tests ctx->inflight without explicitly\ncomparing against true/false. Since inflight is only ever set to\ntrue or false later, an uninitialized value has triggered\n-EBUSY failures. Zero-initializing memory allocated with\nsock_kmalloc() ensures inflight and other fields start in a known\nstate, removing random issues caused by uninitialized data." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "crypto/af_alg.c", "crypto/algif_hash.c", "crypto/algif_rng.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "fe869cdb89c95d060c77eea20204d6c91f233b53", "lessThan": "e125c8e346e4eb7b3e854c862fcb4392bc13ddba", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "fe869cdb89c95d060c77eea20204d6c91f233b53", "lessThan": "543bf004e4eafbb302b1e6c78570d425d2ca13a0", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "fe869cdb89c95d060c77eea20204d6c91f233b53", "lessThan": "f81244fd6b14fecfa93b66b6bb1d59f96554e550", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "fe869cdb89c95d060c77eea20204d6c91f233b53", "lessThan": "84238876e3b3b262cf62d5f4d1338e983fb27010", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "fe869cdb89c95d060c77eea20204d6c91f233b53", "lessThan": "5a4b65523608974a81edbe386f8a667a3e10c726", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "fe869cdb89c95d060c77eea20204d6c91f233b53", "lessThan": "51a5ab36084f3251ef87eda3e6a6236f6488925e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "fe869cdb89c95d060c77eea20204d6c91f233b53", "lessThan": "6f6e309328d53a10c0fe1f77dec2db73373179b6", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "crypto/af_alg.c", "crypto/algif_hash.c", "crypto/algif_rng.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "2.6.38", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "2.6.38", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.10.248", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.15.198", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.160", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.120", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.64", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.19", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.38", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.248" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.38", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.198" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.38", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.160" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.38", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.120" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.38", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.64" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.38", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.3" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.38", "versionEndExcluding": "6.19" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e125c8e346e4eb7b3e854c862fcb4392bc13ddba" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/543bf004e4eafbb302b1e6c78570d425d2ca13a0" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f81244fd6b14fecfa93b66b6bb1d59f96554e550" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/84238876e3b3b262cf62d5f4d1338e983fb27010" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5a4b65523608974a81edbe386f8a667a3e10c726" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/51a5ab36084f3251ef87eda3e6a6236f6488925e" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6f6e309328d53a10c0fe1f77dec2db73373179b6" } ], "title": "crypto: af_alg -
