Subject: [PATCH 2/2] crypto: arm64/aes-ctr: fix NULL dereference in tail processing
Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2016 09:48:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1473756533-21078-2-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1473756533-21078-1-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>
The AES-CTR glue code avoids calling into the blkcipher API for the
tail portion of the walk, by comparing the remainder of walk.nbytes
modulo AES_BLOCK_SIZE with the residual nbytes, and jumping straight
into the tail processing block if they are equal. This tail processing
block checks whether nbytes != 0, and does nothing otherwise.
However, in case of an allocation failure in the blkcipher layer, we
may enter this code with walk.nbytes == 0, while nbytes > 0. In this
case, we should not dereference the source and destination pointers,
since they may be NULL. So instead of checking for nbytes != 0, check
for (walk.nbytes % AES_BLOCK_SIZE) != 0, which implies the former in
non-error conditions.
