This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled crypto: ecc - handle unaligned input buffer in ecc_swap_digits to the 5.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: crypto-ecc-handle-unaligned-input-buffer-in-ecc_swap.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4dd5507ac93e24a368adc22db4d44063f895c1e9 Author: Mian Yousaf Kaukab <ykaukab@xxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jul 21 10:39:05 2021 +0200 crypto: ecc - handle unaligned input buffer in ecc_swap_digits [ Upstream commit 0469dede0eeeefe12a9a2fd76078f4a266513457 ] ecdsa_set_pub_key() makes an u64 pointer at 1 byte offset of the key. This results in an unaligned u64 pointer. This pointer is passed to ecc_swap_digits() which assumes natural alignment. This causes a kernel crash on an armv7 platform: [ 0.409022] Unhandled fault: alignment exception (0x001) at 0xc2a0a6a9 ... [ 0.416982] PC is at ecdsa_set_pub_key+0xdc/0x120 ... [ 0.491492] Backtrace: [ 0.492059] [<c07c266c>] (ecdsa_set_pub_key) from [<c07c75d4>] (test_akcipher_one+0xf4/0x6c0) Handle unaligned input buffer in ecc_swap_digits() by replacing be64_to_cpu() to get_unaligned_be64(). Change type of in pointer to void to reflect it doesnâ??t necessarily need to be aligned.
