This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled crypto: user - lock crypto_alg_list on alg dump to the 4.3-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-user-lock-crypto_alg_list-on-alg-dump.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.3 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 63e41ebc6630f39422d87f8a4bade1e793f37a01 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2016 14:27:30 +0100 Subject: crypto: user - lock crypto_alg_list on alg dump From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 63e41ebc6630f39422d87f8a4bade1e793f37a01 upstream. We miss to take the crypto_alg_sem semaphore when traversing the crypto_alg_list for CRYPTO_MSG_GETALG dumps. This allows a race with crypto_unregister_alg() removing algorithms from the list while we're still traversing it, thereby leading to a use-after-free as show below: [ 3482.071639] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP [ 3482.075639] Modules linked in: aes_x86_64 glue_helper lrw ablk_helper cryptd gf128mul ipv6 pcspkr serio_raw virtio_net microcode virtio_pci virtio_ring virtio sr_mod cdrom [last unloaded: aesni_intel] [ 3482.075639] CPU: 1 PID: 11065 Comm: crconf Not tainted 4.3.4-grsec+ #126 [ 3482.075639] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.7.5-20140531_083030-gandalf 04/01/2014 [ 3482.075639] task: ffff88001cd41a40 ti: ffff88001cd422c8 task.ti: ffff88001cd422c8 [ 3482.075639] RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff93722bd3>] [<ffffffff93722bd3>] strncpy+0x13/0x30 [ 3482.075639] RSP: 0018:ffff88001f713b60 EFLAGS: 00010202 [ 3482.075639] RAX: ffff88001f6c4430 RBX: ffff88001f6c43a0 RCX: ffff88001f6c4430 [ 3482.075639] RDX: 0000000000000040 RSI: fefefefefefeff16 RDI: ffff88001f6c4430 [ 3482.075639] RBP: ffff88001f713b60 R08: ffff88001f6c4470 R09: ffff88001f6c4480 [ 3482.075639] R10: 0000000000000002 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: ffff88001ce2aa28 [ 3482.075639] R13: ffff880000093700 R14: ffff88001f5e4bf8 R15: 0000000000003b20 [ 3482.075639] FS: 0000033826fa2700(0000) GS:ffff88001e900000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 3482.075639] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 3482.075639] CR2: ffffffffff600400 CR3: 00000000139ec000 CR4: 00000000001606f0 [ 3482.075639] Stack: [ 3482.075639] ffff88001f713bd8 ffffffff936ccd00 ffff88001e5c4200 ffff880000093700 [ 3482.075639] ffff88001f713bd0 ffffffff938ef4bf 0000000000000000 0000000000003b20 [ 3482.075639] ffff88001f5e4bf8 ffff88001f5e4848 0000000000000000 0000000000003b20 [ 3482.075639] Call Trace: [ 3482.075639] [<ffffffff936ccd00>] crypto_report_alg+0xc0/0x3e0 [ 3482.075639] [<ffffffff938ef4bf>] ? __alloc_skb+0x16f/0x300 [ 3482.075639] [<ffffffff936cd08a>] crypto_dump_report+0x6a/0x90 [ 3482.075639] [<ffffffff93935707>] netlink_dump+0x147/0x2e0 [ 3482.075639] [<ffffffff93935f99>] __netlink_dump_start+0x159/0x190 [ 3482.075639] [<ffffffff936ccb13>] crypto_user_rcv_msg+0xc3/0x130 [ 3482.075639] [<ffffffff936cd020>] ? crypto_report_alg+0x3e0/0x3e0 [ 3482.075639] [<ffffffff936cc4b0>] ? alg_test_crc32c+0x120/0x120 [ 3482.075639] [<ffffffff93933145>] ? __netlink_lookup+0xd5/0x120 [ 3482.075639] [<ffffffff936cca50>] ? crypto_add_alg+0x1d0/0x1d0 [ 3482.075639] [<ffffffff93938141>] netlink_rcv_skb+0xe1/0x130 [ 3482.075639] [<ffffffff936cc4f8>] crypto_netlink_rcv+0x28/0x40 [ 3482.075639] [<ffffffff939375a8>] netlink_unicast+0x108/0x180 [ 3482.075639] [<ffffffff93937c21>] netlink_sendmsg+0x541/0x770 [ 3482.075639] [<ffffffff938e31e1>] sock_sendmsg+0x21/0x40 [ 3482.075639] [<ffffffff938e4763>] SyS_sendto+0xf3/0x130 [ 3482.075639] [<ffffffff93444203>] ? bad_area_nosemaphore+0x13/0x20 [ 3482.075639] [<ffffffff93444470>] ? __do_page_fault+0x80/0x3a0 [ 3482.075639] [<ffffffff939d80cb>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x6e [ 3482.075639] Code: 88 4a ff 75 ed 5d 48 0f ba 2c 24 3f c3 66 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 55 48 85 d2 48 89 f8 48 89 f9 4c 8d 04 17 48 89 e5 74 15 <0f> b6 16 80 fa 01 88 11 48 83 de ff 48 83 c1 01 4c 39 c1 75 eb [ 3482.075639] RIP [<ffffffff93722bd3>] strncpy+0x13/0x30 To trigger the race run the following loops simultaneously for a while: $ while : ; do modprobe aesni-intel; rmmod aesni-intel; done $ while : ; do crconf show all > /dev/null; done Fix the race by taking the crypto_alg_sem read lock, thereby preventing crypto_unregister_alg() from modifying the algorithm list during the dump.
