commit ba7d7433a0e998c902132bd47330e355a1eaa894 upstream. Some algorithms have a ->setkey() method that is not atomic, in the sense that setting a key can fail after changes were already made to the tfm context. In this case, if a key was already set the tfm can end up in a state that corresponds to neither the old key nor the new key. It's not feasible to make all ->setkey() methods atomic, especially ones that have to key multiple sub-tfms. Therefore, make the crypto API set CRYPTO_TFM_NEED_KEY if ->setkey() fails and the algorithm requires a key, to prevent the tfm from being used until a new key is set. Note: we can't set CRYPTO_TFM_NEED_KEY for OPTIONAL_KEY algorithms, so ->setkey() for those must nevertheless be atomic. That's fine for now since only the crc32 and crc32c algorithms set OPTIONAL_KEY, and it's not intended that OPTIONAL_KEY be used much. [Cc stable mainly because when introducing the NEED_KEY flag I changed AF_ALG to rely on it; and unlike in-kernel crypto API users, AF_ALG previously didn't have this problem. So these "incompletely keyed" states became theoretically accessible via AF_ALG -- though, the opportunities for causing real mischief seem pretty limited.] Fixes: 9fa68f620041 ("crypto: hash - prevent using keyed hashes without setting key") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>tirimbino
