2020-04-16crypto: api - Fix use-after-free and race in crypto_spawn_algHerbert Xu1-1/+2
There are two problems in crypto_spawn_alg. First of all it may return spawn->alg even if spawn->dead is set. This results in a double-free as detected by syzbot. Secondly the setting of the DYING flag is racy because we hold the read-lock instead of the write-lock. We should instead call crypto_shoot_alg in a safe manner by gaining a refcount, dropping the lock, and then releasing the refcount. This patch fixes both problems. Reported-by: syzbot+fc0674cde00b66844470@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Fixes: 4f87ee118d16 ("crypto: api - Do not zap spawn->alg") Fixes: 73669cc55646 ("crypto: api - Fix race condition in...")

2019-12-20crypto: api - fix unexpectedly getting generic implementationHerbert Xu1-1/+3
When CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS=y, the first lookup of an algorithm that needs to be instantiated using a template will always get the generic implementation, even when an accelerated one is available. This happens because the extra self-tests for the accelerated implementation allocate the generic implementation for comparison purposes, and then crypto_alg_tested() for the generic implementation "fulfills" the original request (i.e. sets crypto_larval::adult). This patch fixes this by only fulfilling the original request if we are currently the best outstanding larval as judged by the priority. If we're not the best then we will ask all waiters on that larval request to retry the lookup. Note that this patch introduces a behaviour change when the module providing the new algorithm is unregistered during the process. Previously we would have failed with ENOENT, after the patch we will instead redo the lookup. Fixes: 9a8a6b3f0950 ("crypto: testmgr - fuzz hashes against...")

2019-12-11crypto: api - Fix race condition in crypto_spawn_algHerbert Xu1-2/+1
The function crypto_spawn_alg is racy because it drops the lock before shooting the dying algorithm. The algorithm could disappear altogether before we shoot it. This patch fixes it by moving the shooting into the locked section. Fixes: 6bfd48096ff8 ("[CRYPTO] api: Added spawns") Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2019-12-11crypto: cipher - remove crt_u.cipher (struct cipher_tfm)Eric Biggers1-14/+1
Of the three fields in crt_u.cipher (struct cipher_tfm), ->cit_setkey() is pointless because it always points to setkey() in crypto/cipher.c. ->cit_decrypt_one() and ->cit_encrypt_one() are slightly less pointless, since if the algorithm doesn't have an alignmask, they are set directly to ->cia_encrypt() and ->cia_decrypt(). However, this "optimization" isn't worthwhile because: - The "cipher" algorithm type is the only algorithm still using crt_u, so it's bloating every struct crypto_tfm for every algorithm type. - If the algorithm has an alignmask, this "optimization" actually makes things slower, as it causes 2 indirect calls per block rather than 1. - It adds extra code complexity. - Some templates already call ->cia_encrypt()/->cia_decrypt() directly instead of going through ->cit_encrypt_one()/->cit_decrypt_one(). - The "cipher" algorithm type never gives optimal performance anyway. For that, a higher-level type such as skcipher needs to be used. Therefore, just remove the extra indirection, and make crypto_cipher_setkey(), crypto_cipher_encrypt_one(), and crypto_cipher_decrypt_one() be direct calls into crypto/cipher.c. Also remove the unused function crypto_cipher_cast(). Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

The crypto API requires cryptomgr to be present for probing to work so we need a softdep to ensure that cryptomgr is added to the initramfs. This was usually not a problem because until very recently it was not practical to build crypto API as module but with the recent work to eliminate direct AES users this is now possible.

2019-11-01crypto: skcipher - remove the "blkcipher" algorithm typeEric Biggers1-1/+1
Now that all "blkcipher" algorithms have been converted to "skcipher", remove the blkcipher algorithm type. The skcipher (symmetric key cipher) algorithm type was introduced a few years ago to replace both blkcipher and ablkcipher (synchronous and asynchronous block cipher). The advantages of skcipher include: - A much less confusing name, since none of these algorithm types have ever actually been for raw block ciphers, but rather for all length-preserving encryption modes including block cipher modes of operation, stream ciphers, and other length-preserving modes. - It unified blkcipher and ablkcipher into a single algorithm type which supports both synchronous and asynchronous implementations. Note, blkcipher already operated only on scatterlists, so the fact that skcipher does too isn't a regression in functionality. - Better type safety by using struct skcipher_alg, struct crypto_skcipher, etc. instead of crypto_alg, crypto_tfm, etc. - It sometimes simplifies the implementations of algorithms. Also, the blkcipher API was no longer being tested. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2018-07-18evm: Don't deadlock if a crypto algorithm is unavailableMatthew Garrett1-1/+1
When EVM attempts to appraise a file signed with a crypto algorithm the kernel doesn't have support for, it will cause the kernel to trigger a module load. If the EVM policy includes appraisal of kernel modules this will in turn call back into EVM - since EVM is holding a lock until the crypto initialisation is complete, this triggers a deadlock. Add a CRYPTO_NOLOAD flag and skip module loading if it's set, and add that flag in the EVM case in order to fail gracefully with an error message instead of deadlocking.

Commit eb02c38f0197 ("crypto: api - Keep failed instances alive") is making allocating crypto transforms sometimes fail with ELIBBAD, when multiple processes try to access encrypted files with fscrypt for the first time since boot. The problem is that the "request larval" for the algorithm is being mistaken for an algorithm which failed its tests. Fix it by only returning ELIBBAD for "non-larval" algorithms. Also don't leak a reference to the algorithm.

2018-03-31crypto: api - Keep failed instances aliveHerbert Xu1-9/+13
This patch reverts commit 9c521a200bc3 ("crypto: api - remove instance when test failed") and fixes the underlying problem in a different way. To recap, prior to the reverted commit, an instance that fails a self-test is kept around. However, it would satisfy any new lookups against its name and therefore the system may accumlulate an unbounded number of failed instances for the same algorithm name. The reverted commit fixed it by unregistering the instance. Hoever, this still does not prevent the creation of the same failed instance over and over again each time the name is looked up. This patch fixes it by keeping the failed instance around, just as we would if it were a normal algorithm. However, the lookup code has been udpated so that we do not attempt to create another instance as long as this failed one is still registered. Of course, you could still force a new creation by deleting the instance from user-space. A new error (ELIBBAD) has been commandeered for this purpose and will be returned when all registered algorithm of a given name have failed the self-test.

2015-10-20crypto: api - Only abort operations on fatal signalHerbert Xu1-3/+3
Currently a number of Crypto API operations may fail when a signal occurs. This causes nasty problems as the caller of those operations are often not in a good position to restart the operation. In fact there is currently no need for those operations to be interrupted by user signals at all. All we need is for them to be killable. This patch replaces the relevant calls of signal_pending with fatal_signal_pending, and wait_for_completion_interruptible with wait_for_completion_killable, respectively.

2015-03-31crypto: api - prevent helper ciphers from being usedStephan Mueller1-0/+10
Several hardware related cipher implementations are implemented as follows: a "helper" cipher implementation is registered with the kernel crypto API. Such helper ciphers are never intended to be called by normal users. In some cases, calling them via the normal crypto API may even cause failures including kernel crashes. In a normal case, the "wrapping" ciphers that use the helpers ensure that these helpers are invoked such that they cannot cause any calamity. Considering the AF_ALG user space interface, unprivileged users can call all ciphers registered with the crypto API, including these helper ciphers that are not intended to be called directly. That means, with AF_ALG user space may invoke these helper ciphers and may cause undefined states or side effects. To avoid any potential side effects with such helpers, the patch prevents the helpers to be called directly. A new cipher type flag is added: CRYPTO_ALG_INTERNAL. This flag shall be used to mark helper ciphers. These ciphers can only be used if the caller invoke the cipher with CRYPTO_ALG_INTERNAL in the type and mask field.

The use of wait_for_completion_interruptible is intentional so that we don't lock up the thread if a bug causes us to never wake up. This bug is caused by the helper thread using the larval without holding a reference count on it. If the helper thread completes after the original thread requesting for help has gone away and destroyed the larval, then we get the crash above. So the fix is to hold a reference count on the larval.

2009-02-26crypto: api - Fix module load deadlock with fallback algorithmsHerbert Xu1-2/+13
With the mandatory algorithm testing at registration, we have now created a deadlock with algorithms requiring fallbacks. This can happen if the module containing the algorithm requiring fallback is loaded first, without the fallback module being loaded first. The system will then try to test the new algorithm, find that it needs to load a fallback, and then try to load that. As both algorithms share the same module alias, it can attempt to load the original algorithm again and block indefinitely. As algorithms requiring fallbacks are a special case, we can fix this by giving them a different module alias than the rest. Then it's just a matter of using the right aliases according to what algorithms we're trying to find. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

Since all callers want to make the adjustment and we know how to adjust it ourselves, it's much easier to just return adjusted pointer directly. The only caveat is that we have to return a void * instead of struct crypto_tfm *. However, this isn't that bad because both of these functions are for internal use only (by types code like shash.c, not even algorithms code). This patch also moves crypto_alloc_tfm into crypto/internal.h (crypto_create_tfm is already there) to reflect this. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-02-18crypto: api - crypto_alg_mod_lookup either tested or untestedHerbert Xu1-1/+1
As it stands crypto_alg_mod_lookup will search either tested or untested algorithms, but never both at the same time. However, we need exactly that when constructing givcipher and aead so this patch adds support for that by setting the tested bit in type but clearing it in mask. This combination is currently unused.

2009-02-05crypto: api - Fix zeroing on freeHerbert Xu1-10/+10
Geert Uytterhoeven pointed out that we're not zeroing all the memory when freeing a transform. This patch fixes it by calling ksize to ensure that we zero everything in sight. Reported-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <Geert.Uytterhoeven@sonycom.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-12-25crypto: api - Rebirth of crypto_alloc_tfmHerbert Xu1-0/+108
This patch reintroduces a completely revamped crypto_alloc_tfm. The biggest change is that we now take two crypto_type objects when allocating a tfm, a frontend and a backend. In fact this simply formalises what we've been doing behind the API's back. For example, as it stands crypto_alloc_ahash may use an actual ahash algorithm or a crypto_hash algorithm. Putting this in the API allows us to do this much more cleanly. The existing types will be converted across gradually. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-12-25crypto: api - Move type exit function into crypto_tfmHerbert Xu1-7/+6
The type exit function needs to undo any allocations done by the type init function. However, the type init function may differ depending on the upper-level type of the transform (e.g., a crypto_blkcipher instantiated as a crypto_ablkcipher). So we need to move the exit function out of the lower-level structure and into crypto_tfm itself. As it stands this is a no-op since nobody uses exit functions at all. However, all cases where a lower-level type is instantiated as a different upper-level type (such as blkcipher as ablkcipher) will be converted such that they allocate the underlying transform and use that instead of casting (e.g., crypto_ablkcipher casted into crypto_blkcipher). That will need to use a different exit function depending on the upper-level type. This patch also allows the type init/exit functions to call (or not) cra_init/cra_exit instead of always calling them from the top level. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2008-08-29crypto: api - Export crypto_alg_lookup instead of __crypto_alg_lookupHerbert Xu1-4/+4
Since the only user of __crypto_alg_lookup is doing exactly what crypto_alg_lookup does, we can now the latter in lieu of the former. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2008-01-11[CRYPTO] skcipher: Create default givcipher instancesHerbert Xu1-5/+14
This patch makes crypto_alloc_ablkcipher/crypto_grab_skcipher always return algorithms that are capable of generating their own IVs through givencrypt and givdecrypt. Each algorithm may specify its default IV generator through the geniv field. For algorithms that do not set the geniv field, the blkcipher layer will pick a default. Currently it's chainiv for synchronous algorithms and eseqiv for asynchronous algorithms. Note that if these wrappers do not work on an algorithm then that algorithm must specify its own geniv or it can't be used at all. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2007-05-19[CRYPTO] api: Read module pointer before freeing algorithmHerbert Xu1-1/+3
The function crypto_mod_put first frees the algorithm and then drops the reference to its module. Unfortunately we read the module pointer which after freeing the algorithm and that pointer sits inside the object that we just freed. So this patch reads the module pointer out before we free the object. Thanks to Luca Tettamanti for reporting this. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
