[PATCH] crypto: af_alg - avoid undefined behavior accessing salg_name

From: Eric Biggers

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

Commit 3f69cc60768b ("crypto: af_alg - Allow arbitrarily long algorithm
names") made the kernel start accepting arbitrarily long algorithm names
in sockaddr_alg. However, the actual length of the salg_name field
stayed at the original 64 bytes.

This is broken because the kernel can access indices >= 64 in salg_name,
which is undefined behavior -- even though the memory that is accessed
is still located within the sockaddr structure. It would only be
defined behavior if the array were properly marked as arbitrary-length
(either by making it a flexible array, which is the recommended way
these days, or by making it an array of length 0 or 1).

We can't simply change salg_name into a flexible array, since that would
break source compatibility with userspace programs that embed
sockaddr_alg into another struct, or (more commonly) declare a
sockaddr_alg like 'struct sockaddr_alg sa = { .salg_name = "foo" };'.

One solution would be to change salg_name into a flexible array only
when '#ifdef __KERNEL__'. However, that would keep userspace without an
easy way to actually use the longer algorithm names.

Instead, add a new structure 'sockaddr_alg_new' that has the flexible
array field, and expose it to both userspace and the kernel.
Make the kernel use it correctly in alg_bind().

This addresses the syzbot report
"UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in alg_bind"
(https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=92ead4eb8e26a26d465e).
