This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled crypto: pcrypt - Delay write to padata->info to the 4.14-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-pcrypt-delay-write-to-padata-info.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f45d947c3868e7a1933a50c7855ba952c56d6801 Author: Daniel Jordan <daniel.m.jordan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Oct 21 14:30:28 2021 -0400 crypto: pcrypt - Delay write to padata->info [ Upstream commit 68b6dea802cea0dbdd8bd7ccc60716b5a32a5d8a ] These three events can race when pcrypt is used multiple times in a template ("pcrypt(pcrypt(...))"): 1. [taskA] The caller makes the crypto request via crypto_aead_encrypt() 2. [kworkerB] padata serializes the inner pcrypt request 3. [kworkerC] padata serializes the outer pcrypt request 3 might finish before the call to crypto_aead_encrypt() returns in 1, resulting in two possible issues. First, a use-after-free of the crypto request's memory when, for example, taskA writes to the outer pcrypt request's padata->info in pcrypt_aead_enc() after kworkerC completes the request. Second, the outer pcrypt request overwrites the inner pcrypt request's return code with -EINPROGRESS, making a successful request appear to fail. For instance, kworkerB writes the outer pcrypt request's padata->info in pcrypt_aead_done() and then taskA overwrites it in pcrypt_aead_enc(). Avoid both situations by delaying the write of padata->info until after the inner crypto request's return code is checked. This prevents the use-after-free by not touching the crypto request's memory after the next-inner crypto request is made, and stops padata->info from being overwritten.
