[PATCH 5.10/5.15.y] crypto: rsa-pkcs1pad: Don't WARN on an empty digest
Posted by Doruk Tan Ozturk 4 days, 6 hours ago
KEYCTL_PKEY_VERIFY lets an unprivileged caller supply a zero-length
digest (in_len == 0).  keyctl_pkey_params_get_2() accepts the zero
length and the request reaches pkcs1pad_verify(), where the empty
digest is rejected but only after being passed through
WARN_ON(!req->dst_len).  The warning is therefore directly
user-triggerable, and on kernels built with panic_on_warn=1 an
unprivileged process can panic the machine -- a local denial of
service.  Reproduced as UID 65534 in a setuid sandbox.

Keep rejecting the invalid request with -EINVAL, but do not emit a
warning for the user-controlled length.

This is the 5.10.y/5.15.y form of the fix, where the length is read
directly from req->dst_len rather than cached in a digest_size local.
Mainline does not contain this code path; commit 1e562deacecc
("crypto: rsassa-pkcs1 - Migrate to sig_alg backend") removed
pkcs1pad_verify() in v6.13-rc1.  This is a minimal fix for the
affected stable branches.  The 6.1.y/6.6.y/6.12.y form
(WARN_ON(!digest_size)) is sent as a separate patch.
