[PATCH] crypto: af_alg - add keylen checking to avoid NULL ptr passing down

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

 



alg_setkey do not check the keylen whether it is zero, so the key
may be ZERO_SIZE_PTR when keylen is 0, which will pass the
copy_from_user's checking and be passed to the lower functions as key.

If the lower functions only check the key if it is NULL, ZERO_SIZE_PTR
will pass the checking, and will cause null ptr dereference, so it's
better to intercept the invalid parameters in the upper functions.

This patch is also suitable to fix CVE-2017-15116 for stable trees.
