[PATCH 5.10 20/25] random: fix data race on crng init time

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Jan 14 2022 - 03:20:01 EST


From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 009ba8568be497c640cab7571f7bfd18345d7b24 upstream.

_extract_crng() does plain loads of crng->init_time and
crng_global_init_time, which causes undefined behavior if
crng_reseed() and RNDRESEEDCRNG modify these corrently.

Use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to make the behavior defined.

Don't fix the race on crng->init_time by protecting it with crng->lock,
since it's not a problem for duplicate reseedings to occur. I.e., the
lockless access with READ_ONCE() is fine.

Fixes: d848e5f8e1eb ("random: add new ioctl RNDRESEEDCRNG")
Fixes: e192be9d9a30 ("random: replace non-blocking pool with a Chacha20-based CRNG")
