[PATCH net] xfrm: prevent some integer overflows in verify_ functions

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Tue Dec 17 2024 - 03:42:59 EST


The xfrm_alg_len() type functions take the alg->alg_key_len which
is the length in bits and converts it to bytes and add it to
sizeof(*alg).

return sizeof(*alg) + ((alg->alg_key_len + 7) / 8);

The alg->alg_key_len is type unsigned int. That means that if we pick
an ->alg_key_len which is greater than "UINT_MAX - 7" it leads to an
integer overflow and the key length is treated as zero. The result
is that xfrm_alg_len() function will return "sizeof(*alg) + 0".

However, so far as I can see this does not cause a problem. All the
places which use this length consistently do the same conversion. The
type of thing I was looking for would be code which uses partial keys
or code which uses a different type instead of u32 for ->alg_key_len.
I didn't find anything like that so I can't see a negative impact from
this bug. Still fixing it is the right thing to do.
