Subject: [PATCH] rxrpc: reject undecryptable rxkad response tickets

rxkad_decrypt_ticket() decrypts the RXKAD response ticket and then
parses the buffer as plaintext without checking whether
crypto_skcipher_decrypt() succeeded.

A malformed RESPONSE can therefore use a non-block-aligned ticket
length, make the decrypt operation fail, and still drive the ticket
parser with attacker-controlled bytes.

Check the decrypt result and abort the connection with RXKADBADTICKET
when ticket decryption fails.

[PATCH 5.10.y] rxrpc: reject undecryptable rxkad response tickets

[Sasha Levin]

From: Yuqi Xu <xuyuqiabc@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit fe4447cd95623b1cfacc15f280aab73a6d7340b2 ]

rxkad_decrypt_ticket() decrypts the RXKAD response ticket and then
parses the buffer as plaintext without checking whether
crypto_skcipher_decrypt() succeeded.

A malformed RESPONSE can therefore use a non-block-aligned ticket
length, make the decrypt operation fail, and still drive the ticket
parser with attacker-controlled bytes.

Check the decrypt result and abort the connection with RXKADBADTICKET
when ticket decryption fails.
