Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: essiv - Handle EBUSY correctly
As it is essiv only handles the special return value of EINPROGERSS,
which means that in all other cases it will free data related to the
request.
However, as the caller of essiv may specify MAY_BACKLOG, we also need
to expect EBUSY and treat it in the same way. Otherwise backlogged
requests will trigger a use-after-free.
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's ESSIV (Encrypted Salt-Sector Initialization Vector) crypto module. The essiv code only handles EINPROGRESS as a special return value, freeing request data for all other return codes. When callers use MAY_BACKLOG, an EBUSY return indicates the request was queued but will complete later. Freeing the data on EBUSY causes a use-after-free when the backlogged request completes.
Отчет
This flaw affects systems using ESSIV encryption mode with crypto operations that enable backlogging (MAY_BACKLOG). ESSIV is commonly used with dm-crypt for disk encryption. The use-after-free occurs when crypto hardware queues requests due to being busy, making this exploitable under high crypto workload conditions.
