[PATCH 3.16 029/129] crypto: hash - set CRYPTO_TFM_NEED_KEY if ->setkey() fails

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Jul 07 2019 - 15:46:05 EST


3.16.70-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

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.]
