| * | crypto: user - clean up report structure copying | Eric Biggers | 2018-11-09 | 1 | -7/+3 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There have been a pretty ridiculous number of issues with initializing the report structures that are copied to userspace by NETLINK_CRYPTO. Commit 4473710df1f8 ("crypto: user - Prepare for CRYPTO_MAX_ALG_NAME expansion") replaced some strncpy()s with strlcpy()s, thereby introducing information leaks. Later two other people tried to replace other strncpy()s with strlcpy() too, which would have introduced even more information leaks: - https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/954991/ - https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10434351/ Commit cac5818c25d0 ("crypto: user - Implement a generic crypto statistics") also uses the buggy strlcpy() approach and therefore leaks uninitialized memory to userspace. A fix was proposed, but it was originally incomplete. Seeing as how apparently no one can get this right with the current approach, change all the reporting functions to: - Start by memsetting the report structure to 0. This guarantees it's always initialized, regardless of what happens later. - Initialize all strings using strscpy(). This is safe after the memset, ensures null termination of long strings, avoids unnecessary work, and avoids the -Wstringop-truncation warnings from gcc. - Use sizeof(var) instead of sizeof(type). This is more robust against copy+paste errors. For simplicity, also reuse the -EMSGSIZE return value from nla_put().

| * | crypto: Replaced gcc specific attributes with macros from compiler.h | Gideon Israel Dsouza | 2017-01-13 | 1 | -1/+2 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Continuing from this commit: 52f5684c8e1e ("kernel: use macros from compiler.h instead of __attribute__((...))") I submitted 4 total patches. They are part of task I've taken up to increase compiler portability in the kernel. I've cleaned up the subsystems under /kernel /mm /block and /security, this patch targets /crypto. There is <linux/compiler.h> which provides macros for various gcc specific constructs. Eg: __weak for __attribute__((weak)). I've cleaned all instances of gcc specific attributes with the right macros for the crypto subsystem. I had to make one additional change into compiler-gcc.h for the case when one wants to use this: __attribute__((aligned) and not specify an alignment factor. From the gcc docs, this will result in the largest alignment for that data type on the target machine so I've named the macro __aligned_largest. Please advise if another name is more appropriate.

| * | crypto: kpp - Key-agreement Protocol Primitives API (KPP) | Salvatore Benedetto | 2016-06-23 | 1 | -0/+123 |
| Add key-agreement protocol primitives (kpp) API which allows to implement primitives required by protocols such as DH and ECDH. The API is composed mainly by the following functions * set_secret() - It allows the user to set his secret, also referred to as his private key, along with the parameters known to both parties involved in the key-agreement session. * generate_public_key() - It generates the public key to be sent to the other counterpart involved in the key-agreement session. The function has to be called after set_params() and set_secret() * generate_secret() - It generates the shared secret for the session Other functions such as init() and exit() are provided for allowing cryptographic hardware to be inizialized properly before use Signed-off-by: Salvatore Benedetto <salvatore.benedetto@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> | |||||
