Apparently, the SHA multibuffer algorithms sometimes return success while the
hash request is still being asynchronously processed, which allows an in-use
request to be freed or reused. It also allows the wrong digest value to be
computed. The following patch fixes the crash for sha512_mb (the same fix is
also needed for sha1_mb and sha256_mb...), but I haven't properly reviewed yet
it as the multibuffer code is very difficult to understand...

And here's a simplified reproducer. It also works with sha1_mb and sha256_mb if
you change the .salg_name. Note: it actually causes a list corruption rather
than a use-after-free, but it seems to be the same bug...
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <linux/if_alg.h>
#include <sys/sendfile.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
struct sockaddr_alg addr = {
.salg_type = "hash",
.salg_name = "sha512_mb",
};
int algfd, reqfd, filefd;
int nprocs = 8 * sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN);
algfd = socket(AF_ALG, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0);
bind(algfd, (void *)&addr, sizeof(addr));
if (fork()) {
while (nprocs-- > 0 && fork())
;
reqfd = accept(algfd, NULL, 0);
for (;;)
write(reqfd, "X", 1);
} else {
reqfd = accept(algfd, NULL, 0);
filefd = open("/bin/ls", O_RDONLY);
for (;;) {
loff_t offset = 0;
sendfile(reqfd, filefd, &offset, 256);
}
}
}
Personally, I'm wondering why the SHA multibuffer code is in the kernel at all
given all the severe issues it has that its authors/maintainers don't seem to be
working very hard to fix. The code is very difficult to understand due to the
weird 3-layer design with "mcryptd" and other issues, making debugging it very
time consuming; most of the code is duplicated in 3 places (sha1-mb, sha256-mb,
and sha512-mb), making maintenance even more difficult; and most importantly
there are severe bugs, including edge cases where it computes the wrong hash, as
shown not only by this bug but also the sha256_mb bug I recently ran into. It
seems the algorithms were never tested under load to cover these edge cases.
That's *not* acceptable for crypto code. Security and correctness come first.
Also as I've shown previously, in most cases the multibuffer SHA algorithms are
~1000x slower than the regular ones due to the flush delay. So the performance
argument for them actually seems pretty tenuous... And, isn't AVX2 multibuffer
useless on new processors, which have SHA instructions?
I'd also be very interested to hear an explanation for why systemwide sharing of
hash jobs doesn't enable side-channel attacks and isn't just the latest example
of prioritizing "performance" over security?
We need to have higher standards for crypto and not accept buggy spaghetti code
just because it's slightly faster in some artificial microbenchmark.
So unless major improvements are made, I personally think we'd be much better
off without the SHA multibuffer algorithms in the kernel.
Just my two cents...
