[RFC/RFT PATCH 08/18] crypto: ccm - fix incompatibility between "ccm" and "ccm_base"

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

 



From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

[This is essentially the same as the corresponding patch to GCM.]

CCM instances can be created by either the "ccm" template, which only
allows choosing the block cipher, e.g. "ccm(aes)"; or by "ccm_base",
which allows choosing the ctr and cbcmac implementations, e.g.
"ccm_base(ctr(aes-generic),cbcmac(aes-generic))".

However, a "ccm_base" instance prevents a "ccm" instance from being
registered using the same implementations.  Nor will the instance be
found by lookups of "ccm".  This can be used as a denial of service.
Moreover, "ccm_base" instances are never tested by the crypto
self-tests, even if there are compatible "ccm" tests.

The root cause of these problems is that instances of the two templates
use different cra_names.  Therefore, fix these problems by making
"ccm_base" instances set the same cra_name as "ccm" instances, e.g.
"ccm(aes)" instead of "ccm_base(ctr(aes-generic),cbcmac(aes-generic))".

This requires extracting the block cipher name from the name of the ctr
algorithm, which means starting to require that the stream cipher really
be ctr and not something else.  But it would be pretty bizarre if anyone
was actually relying on being able to use a non-ctr stream cipher here.
