Subject: crypto: user - lock crypto_alg_list on alg dump

From: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com>

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:

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.

This bug has been detected by the PaX memory sanitize feature.
