Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: tls: handle backlogging of crypto requests<br />
<br />
Since we&#39;re setting the CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG flag on our<br />
requests to the crypto API, crypto_aead_{encrypt,decrypt} can return<br />
-EBUSY instead of -EINPROGRESS in valid situations. For example, when<br />
the cryptd queue for AESNI is full (easy to trigger with an<br />
artificially low cryptd.cryptd_max_cpu_qlen), requests will be enqueued<br />
to the backlog but still processed. In that case, the async callback<br />
will also be called twice: first with err == -EINPROGRESS, which it<br />
seems we can just ignore, then with err == 0.<br />
<br />
Compared to Sabrina&#39;s original patch this version uses the new<br />
tls_*crypt_async_wait() helpers and converts the EBUSY to<br />
EINPROGRESS to avoid having to modify all the error handling<br />
paths. The handling is identical.
