Subject: dm crypt: fix access beyond the end of allocated space
From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit d49ec52ff6ddcda178fc2476a109cf1bd1fa19ed upstream.
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).
Also align per_bio_data_size on ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN, so that it is
aligned as if the block was allocated with kmalloc.
