Hi This is backport of upstream commit d49ec52ff6ddcda178fc2476a109cf1bd1fa19ed. It is suitable for all stable kernels. Mikulas From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx> The DM crypt target accesses memory beyond allocated space resulting in a crash on 32 bit x86 systems. This bug is very old (it dates back to 2.6.25 commit 3a7f6c990ad04 "dm crypt: use async crypto"). However, this bug was masked by the fact that kmalloc rounds the size up to the next power of two. This bug wasn't exposed until 3.17-rc1 commit 298a9fa08a ("dm crypt: use per-bio data"). By switching to using per-bio data there was no longer any padding beyond the end of a dm-crypt allocated memory block. To minimize allocation overhead dm-crypt puts several structures into one block allocated with kmalloc. The block holds struct ablkcipher_request, cipher-specific scratch pad (crypto_ablkcipher_reqsize(any_tfm(cc))), struct dm_crypt_request and an initialization vector. The variable dmreq_start is set to offset of struct dm_crypt_request within this memory block. dm-crypt allocates the block with this size: cc->dmreq_start + sizeof(struct dm_crypt_request) + cc->iv_size. When accessing the initialization vector, dm-crypt uses the function iv_of_dmreq, which performs this calculation: ALIGN((unsigned long)(dmreq + 1), crypto_ablkcipher_alignmask(any_tfm(cc)) + 1). dm-crypt allocated "cc->iv_size" bytes beyond the end of dm_crypt_request structure. However, when dm-crypt accesses the initialization vector, it takes a pointer to the end of dm_crypt_request, aligns it, and then uses it as the initialization vector. If the end of dm_crypt_request is not aligned on a crypto_ablkcipher_alignmask(any_tfm(cc)) boundary the alignment causes the initialization vector to point beyond the allocated space. Fix this bug by calculating the variable iv_size_padding and adding it to the allocated size. Also correct the alignment of dm_crypt_request. struct dm_crypt_request is specific to dm-crypt (it isn't used by the crypto subsystem at all), so it is aligned on __alignof__(struct dm_crypt_request). --- drivers/md/dm-crypt.c | 20 ++++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) Index: linux-3.14.18/drivers/md/dm-crypt.c =================================================================== --- linux-3.14.18.orig/drivers/md/dm-crypt.c 2014-09-11 18:59:10.931906801 +0200 +++ linux-3.14.18/drivers/md/dm-crypt.c 2014-09-11 18:59:39.787718135 +0200 @@ -1681,6 +1681,7 @@ static int crypt_ctr(struct dm_target *t unsigned int key_size, opt_params; unsigned long long tmpll; int ret; + size_t iv_size_padding; struct dm_arg_set as; const char *opt_string; char dummy; @@ -1717,12 +1718,23 @@ static int crypt_ctr(struct dm_target *t cc->dmreq_start = sizeof(struct ablkcipher_request); cc->dmreq_start += crypto_ablkcipher_reqsize(any_tfm(cc)); - cc->dmreq_start = ALIGN(cc->dmreq_start, crypto_tfm_ctx_alignment()); - cc->dmreq_start += crypto_ablkcipher_alignmask(any_tfm(cc)) & - ~(crypto_tfm_ctx_alignment() - 1); + cc->dmreq_start = ALIGN(cc->dmreq_start, __alignof__(struct dm_crypt_request)); + + if (crypto_ablkcipher_alignmask(any_tfm(cc)) < CRYPTO_MINALIGN) { + /* Allocate the padding exactly */ + iv_size_padding = -(cc->dmreq_start + sizeof(struct dm_crypt_request)) + & crypto_ablkcipher_alignmask(any_tfm(cc)); + } else { + /* + * If the cipher requires greater alignment than kmalloc + * alignment, we don't know the exact position of the + * initialization vector.
