When a cipher fails to register in aes_init(), the error path goes thought aes_exit() then crypto_unregister_skciphers(). Since aes_exit calls also crypto_unregister_skcipher, this triggers a refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free. Signed-off-by: Corentin Labbe <clabbe@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes since v1: - Instead of duplicate code from aes_exit() minus crypto_unregister_skciphers, simply use it and return after as suggested by Ard Biesheuvel arch/arm64/crypto/aes-glue.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/arch/arm64/crypto/aes-glue.c b/arch/arm64/crypto/aes-glue.c index 998ba519a026..2fa850e86aa8 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/crypto/aes-glue.c +++ b/arch/arm64/crypto/aes-glue.c @@ -665,6 +665,7 @@ static int __init aes_init(void) unregister_simds: aes_exit(); + return err; unregister_ciphers: crypto_unregister_skciphers(aes_algs, ARRAY_SIZE(aes_algs)); return err; -- 2.13.6
