[v3 RFC PATCH 1/2] crypto: ecdh: fix concurrency on ecdh_ctx

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

 



ecdh_ctx contained static allocated data for the shared secret,
for the public and private key.

When talking about shared secret and public key, they were
doomed to concurrency issues because they could be shared by
multiple crypto requests. The requests were generating specific
data to the same zone of memory without any protection.

The private key was subject to concurrency problems because
multiple setkey calls could fight to memcpy to the same zone
of memory.

Shared secret and public key concurrency is fixed by allocating
memory on heap for each request. In the end, the shared secret
and public key are computed for each request, there is no reason
to use shared memory.

Private key concurrency is fixed by allocating memory on heap
for each setkey call, by memcopying the parsed/generated private
key to the heap and by making the private key pointer from
ecdh_ctx to point to the newly allocated data.

On all systems running Linux, loads from and stores to pointers
are atomic, that is, if a store to a pointer occurs at the same
time as a load from that same pointer, the load will return either
the initial value or the value stored, never some bitwise mashup
of the two.

With this, the private key will always point to a valid key,
but to what setkey call it belongs, is the responsibility of the
caller, as it is now in all crypto framework.
