Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
crypto: ccp - Use kzalloc for sev ioctl interfaces to prevent kernel memory leak<br />
<br />
For some sev ioctl interfaces, input may be passed that is less than or<br />
equal to SEV_FW_BLOB_MAX_SIZE, but larger than the data that PSP<br />
firmware returns. In this case, kmalloc will allocate memory that is the<br />
size of the input rather than the size of the data. Since PSP firmware<br />
doesn&#39;t fully overwrite the buffer, the sev ioctl interfaces with the<br />
issue may return uninitialized slab memory.<br />
<br />
Currently, all of the ioctl interfaces in the ccp driver are safe, but<br />
to prevent future problems, change all ioctl interfaces that allocate<br />
memory with kmalloc to use kzalloc and memset the data buffer to zero<br />
in sev_ioctl_do_platform_status.
