If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 1c0cf6d19690141002889d72622b90fc01562ce4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2024 14:20:35 +0100 Subject: crypto: arm64/neonbs - fix out-of-bounds access on short input From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 1c0cf6d19690141002889d72622b90fc01562ce4 upstream. The bit-sliced implementation of AES-CTR operates on blocks of 128 bytes, and will fall back to the plain NEON version for tail blocks or inputs that are shorter than 128 bytes to begin with. It will call straight into the plain NEON asm helper, which performs all memory accesses in granules of 16 bytes (the size of a NEON register). For this reason, the associated plain NEON glue code will copy inputs shorter than 16 bytes into a temporary buffer, given that this is a rare occurrence and it is not worth the effort to work around this in the asm code. The fallback from the bit-sliced NEON version fails to take this into account, potentially resulting in out-of-bounds accesses. So clone the same workaround, and use a temp buffer for short in/outputs.
