This resulted in the use of uninitialized\ndata in certain error paths or when new fields are added in the\nfuture.\n\nThe ACVP patches also contain two user-space interface files:\nalgif_kpp.c and algif_akcipher.c. These too rely on proper\ninitialization of their context structures.\n\nA particular issue has been observed with the newly added\n'inflight' variable introduced in af_alg_ctx by commit:\n\n  67b164a871af (\"crypto: af_alg - Disallow multiple in-flight AIO requests\")\n\nBecause the context is not memset to zero after allocation,\nthe inflight variable has contained garbage values. As a result,\naf_alg_alloc_areq() has incorrectly returned -EBUSY randomly when\nthe garbage value was interpreted as true:\n\n  https://github.com/gregkh/linux/blame/master/crypto/af_alg.c#L1209\n\nThe check directly tests ctx->inflight without explicitly\ncomparing against true/false. Since inflight is only ever set to\ntrue or false later, an uninitialized value has triggered\n-EBUSY failures. Zero-initializing memory allocated with\nsock_kmalloc() ensures inflight and other fields start in a known\nstate, removing random issues caused by uninitialized data."},{"lang":"es","value":"En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta:\n\ncrypto: af_alg - inicializar a cero la memoria asignada a través de sock_kmalloc\n\nVarios contextos y solicitudes de API de usuario de criptografía asignados con sock_kmalloc() quedaron sin inicializar, dependiendo de que los llamadores establecieran los campos explícitamente. Esto resultó en el uso de datos no inicializados en ciertas rutas de error o cuando se añadan nuevos campos en el futuro.\n\nLos parches ACVP también contienen dos archivos de interfaz de espacio de usuario: algif_kpp.c y algif_akcipher.c. Estos también dependen de la inicialización adecuada de sus estructuras de contexto.\n\nSe ha observado un problema particular con la variable 'inflight' recién añadida introducida en af_alg_ctx por el commit:\n\n67b164a871af ('crypto: af_alg - Disallow multiple in-flight AIO requests')\n\nDebido a que el contexto no se inicializa a cero con memset después de la asignación, la variable inflight ha contenido valores basura. Como resultado, af_alg_alloc_areq() ha devuelto incorrectamente -EBUSY de forma aleatoria cuando el valor basura fue interpretado como verdadero:\n\nhttps://github.com/gregkh/linux/blame/master/crypto/af_alg.c#L1209\n\nLa comprobación prueba directamente ctx->inflight sin comparar explícitamente con verdadero/falso. Dado que inflight solo se establece como verdadero o falso más tarde, un valor no inicializado ha provocado fallos -EBUSY. La inicialización a cero de la memoria asignada con sock_kmalloc() asegura que inflight y otros campos comiencen en un estado conocido, eliminando problemas aleatorios causados por datos no inicializados."}],"metrics":{"cvssMetricV31":[{"source":"nvd@nist.gov","type":"Primary","cvssData":{"version":"3.1","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","baseScore":5.5,"baseSeverity":"MEDIUM","attackVector":"LOCAL","attackComplexity":"LOW","privilegesRequired":"LOW","userInteraction":"NONE","scope":"UNCHANGED","confidentialityImpact":"NONE","integrityImpact":"NONE","availabilityImpact":"HIGH"},"exploitabilityScore":1.8,"impactScore":3.6}]},"weaknesses":[{"source":"nvd@nist.gov","type":"Primary","description":[{"lang":"en","value":"CWE-908"}]}],"configurations":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.38.1","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.248","matchCriteriaId":"85CCF4CB-6825-4C1B-8A0B-FE74D6967635"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.11","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.198","matchCriteriaId":"82159CAA-B6BA-43C6-85D8-65BDBC175A7E"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.16","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.160","matchCriteriaId":"C10CC03E-16A9-428A-B449-40D3763E15F6"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.2","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.120","matchCriteriaId":"43C3A206-5EEE-417B-AA0F-EF8972E7A9F0"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.64","matchCriteriaId":"32BF4A52-377C-44ED-B5E6-7EA5D896E98B"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.13","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.3","matchCriteriaId":"2DC484D8-FB4F-4112-900F-AE333B6FE7A7"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:2.6.38:-:*:*:*:*:*:*","matchCriteriaId":"985DC743-744A-429F-8098-EFCC91DFB6F7"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.19:rc1:*:*:*:*:*:*","matchCriteriaId":"17B67AA7-40D6-4AFA-8459-F200F3D7CFD1"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.19:rc2:*:*:*:*:*:*","matchCriteriaId":"C47E4CC9-C826-4FA9-B014-7FE3D9B318B2"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.19:rc3:*:*:*:*:*:*","matchCriteriaId":"F71D92C0-C023-48BD-B3B6-70B638EEE298"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.19:rc4:*:*:*:*:*:*","matchCriteriaId":"13580667-0A98-40CC-B29F-D12790B91BDB"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.19:rc5:*:*:*:*:*:*","matchCriteriaId":"CAD1FED7-CF48-47BF-AC7D-7B6FA3C065FC"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.19:rc6:*:*:*:*:*:*","matchCriteriaId":"3EF854A1-ABB1-4E93-BE9A-44569EC76C0D"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.19:rc7:*:*:*:*:*:*","matchCriteriaId":"F5DC0CA6-F0AF-4DDF-A882-3DADB9A886A7"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.19:rc8:*:*:*:*:*:*","matchCriteriaId":"EB5B7DFC-C36B-45D8-922C-877569FDDF43"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/51a5ab36084f3251ef87eda3e6a6236f6488925e","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","tags":["Patch"]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/543bf004e4eafbb302b1e6c78570d425d2ca13a0","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","tags":["Patch"]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5a4b65523608974a81edbe386f8a667a3e10c726","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","tags":["Patch"]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6f6e309328d53a10c0fe1f77dec2db73373179b6","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","tags":["Patch"]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/84238876e3b3b262cf62d5f4d1338e983fb27010","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","tags":["Patch"]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e125c8e346e4eb7b3e854c862fcb4392bc13ddba","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","tags":["Patch"]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f81244fd6b14fecfa93b66b6bb1d59f96554e550","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","tags":["Patch"]}]}}]}
