Subject: [PATCH 3/7] crypto: Fixes uninitialized skcipher_walk use in chacha_glue
Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2023 09:39:27 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <DB3PR10MB68353E2ABA0D6C1462385E6BE8A6A@DB3PR10MB6835.EURPRD10.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231102040931.1556061-1-yuran.pereira@hotmail.com>
In `chacha_simd_stream_xor()`, `struct skcipher_walk *walk` is not
fully initialized before its use.
Although the call to `skcipher_walk_virt()` and subsequent functions
that this function calls seem to initialize some fields of this struct,
there is a chance that `skcipher_walk_virt()` returns
without fully clearing or properly initializing the `->flags` field
which means that the following flags:
`SKCIPHER_WALK_DIFF`, `SKCIPHER_WALK_COPY`, `SKCIPHER_WALK_SLOW`
could be storing junk values by the time `skcipher_walk_done()` is called.
This could lead to buggy or undefined behaviour since these flags
are checked in `skcipher_walk_done()`:
```C
int skcipher_walk_done(struct skcipher_walk *walk, int err)
{
...
if (likely(!(walk->flags & (SKCIPHER_WALK_PHYS |
SKCIPHER_WALK_SLOW |
SKCIPHER_WALK_COPY |
SKCIPHER_WALK_DIFF)))) {
...
}
```
To prevent this, this patch ensures that instances of
`struct skcipher_walk` are correctly initialized prior to their use.
