[RFC] crypto: xts - add check for input length equal to zero

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

 



From: Andrei Botila <andrei.botila@xxxxxxx>

Through this RFC we try to standardize the way input lengths equal to 0
are handled in all skcipher algorithms. Currently, in xts when an input
has a length smaller than XTS_BLOCK_SIZE it returns -EINVAL while the
other algorithms return 0 for input lengths equal to zero.
The algorithms that implement this check are CBC, ARC4, CFB, OFB, SALSA20,
CTR, ECB and PCBC, XTS being the outlier here. All of them call
skcipher_walk_virt() which returns 0 if skcipher_walk_skcipher() finds
that input length is equal to 0.
This case was discovered when fuzz testing was enabled since it generates
this input length.
This RFC wants to find out if the approach is ok before updating the
other xts implementations.
