Cherry-picks 10x upstream commits to allow us to exercise good security hygiene and pull in the copy fail CVE fix.

herbertx and others added 10 commits May 1, 2026 11:49
commit 1b34cbb upstream.

Issuing two writes to the same af_alg socket is bogus as the
data will be interleaved in an unpredictable fashion.  Furthermore,
concurrent writes may create inconsistencies in the internal
socket state.

Disallow this by adding a new ctx->write field that indiciates
exclusive ownership for writing.

[ Upstream commit 9574b23 ]

If an error causes af_alg_sendmsg to abort, ctx->merge may contain
a garbage value from the previous loop.  This may then trigger a
crash on the next entry into af_alg_sendmsg when it attempts to do
a merge that can't be done.

Fix this by setting ctx->merge to zero near the start of the loop.

commit d0ca0df upstream.

Commit 1b34cbb ("crypto: af_alg - Disallow concurrent writes in
af_alg_sendmsg") changed some fields from bool to 1-bit bitfields of
type u32.

However, some assignments to these fields, specifically 'more' and
'merge', assign values greater than 1.  These relied on C's implicit
conversion to bool, such that zero becomes false and nonzero becomes
true.

With a 1-bit bitfields of type u32 instead, mod 2 of the value is taken
instead, resulting in 0 being assigned in some cases when 1 was intended.

Fix this by restoring the bool type.

(cherry picked from commit 316b090c2fee964c307a634fecc7df269664b158)
commit 6f6e309328d53a10c0fe1f77dec2db73373179b6 upstream.

Several crypto user API contexts and requests allocated with
sock_kmalloc() were left uninitialized, relying on callers to
set fields explicitly. This resulted in the use of uninitialized
data in certain error paths or when new fields are added in the
future.

The ACVP patches also contain two user-space interface files:
algif_kpp.c and algif_akcipher.c. These too rely on proper
initialization of their context structures.

A particular issue has been observed with the newly added
'inflight' variable introduced in af_alg_ctx by commit:

  67b164a ("crypto: af_alg - Disallow multiple in-flight AIO requests")

Because the context is not memset to zero after allocation,
the inflight variable has contained garbage values. As a result,
af_alg_alloc_areq() has incorrectly returned -EBUSY randomly when
the garbage value was interpreted as true:

  https://github.com/gregkh/linux/blame/master/crypto/af_alg.c#L1209

The check directly tests ctx->inflight without explicitly
comparing against true/false. Since inflight is only ever set to
true or false later, an uninitialized value has triggered
-EBUSY failures. Zero-initializing memory allocated with
sock_kmalloc() ensures inflight and other fields start in a known
state, removing random issues caused by uninitialized data.

(cherry picked from commit 5a4b65523608974a81edbe386f8a667a3e10c726)
[ Upstream commit 62397b493e14107ae82d8b80938f293d95425bcb ]

The AF_ALG interface fails to unmark the end of a Scatter/Gather List (SGL)
when chaining a new af_alg_tsgl structure. If a sendmsg() fills an SGL
exactly to MAX_SGL_ENTS, the last entry is marked as the end. A subsequent
sendmsg() allocates a new SGL and chains it, but fails to clear the end
marker on the previous SGL's last data entry.

This causes the crypto scatterwalk to hit a premature end, returning NULL
on sg_next() and leading to a kernel panic during dereference.

Fix this by explicitly unmarking the end of the previous SGL when
performing sg_chain() in af_alg_alloc_tsgl().

[ Upstream commit 8eceab19eba9dcbfd2a0daec72e1bf48aa100170 ]

Make af_alg_get_rsgl() limit each RX scatterlist extraction to the
remaining receive buffer budget.

af_alg_get_rsgl() currently uses af_alg_readable() only as a gate
before extracting data into the RX scatterlist. Limit each extraction
to the remaining af_alg_rcvbuf(sk) budget so that receive-side
accounting matches the amount of data attached to the request.

If skcipher cannot obtain enough RX space for at least one chunk while
more data remains to be processed, reject the recvmsg call instead of
rounding the request length down to zero.

This backports the current implementation of memcpy_sglist() from
upstream commit 4dffc9bbffb9ccfcda730d899c97c553599e7ca8.

This function was rewritten twice.  The earlier implementations had many
prerequisite commits, while the latest implementation is standalone.
It's much easier to just backport the latest code directly.

commit f2804d0 upstream.

For copying data between two scatterlists, just use memcpy_sglist()
instead of the so-called "null skcipher".  This is much simpler.

commit a664bf3d603dc3bdcf9ae47cc21e0daec706d7a5 upstream.

This mostly reverts commit 72548b0 except for the copying of
the associated data.

There is no benefit in operating in-place in algif_aead since the
source and destination come from different mappings.  Get rid of
all the complexity added for in-place operation and just copy the
AD directly.
