[PATCH] dm crypt: wipe kernel key copy after IV initialization

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Loading key via kernel keyring service we erase internal
key copy immediately after we pass it in crypto layer. This is
wrong because IV is initialised later and we use wrong key
for the initialization (instead of real key there's just zeroed
block).

The bug may cause data corruption if key is loaded via kernel keyring
service first and later same crypt device is reactivated using exactly
same key in hexbyte representation, or vice versa. The bug (and fix)
affects only ciphers using following IVs: essiv, lmk and tcw.

Fixes: c538f6ec9f56 ("dm crypt: add ability to use keys from the kernel
key retention service")
