Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: tls: handle backlogging of crypto requests
Since we're setting the CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG flag on our
requests to the crypto API, crypto_aead_{encrypt,decrypt} can return
-EBUSY instead of -EINPROGRESS in valid situations. For example, when
the cryptd queue for AESNI is full (easy to trigger with an
artificially low cryptd.cryptd_max_cpu_qlen), requests will be enqueued
to the backlog but still processed. In that case, the async callback
will also be called twice: first with err == -EINPROGRESS, which it
seems we can just ignore, then with err == 0.
Compared to Sabrina's original patch this version uses the new
tls_*crypt_async_wait() helpers and converts the EBUSY to
EINPROGRESS to avoid having to modify all the error handling
paths. The handling is identical.
A flaw was found in the tls subsystem of the Linux kernel. When setting the CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG flag on requests to the crypto API, crypto_aead_encrypt and crypto_aead_decrypt functions can return -EBUSY instead of -EINPROGRESS in valid situations. This issue could lead to undefined behavior and a denial of service condition.
Отчет
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 are not affected by this CVE as they did not include kernel TLS support (upstream commit 3c4d755). Because exploitation of this flaw requires either control of system parameters related to cryptography or the ability to generate a significant amount of network traffic to the system, Red Hat assesses the impact of this vulnerability as Low.
Меры по смягчению последствий
No current mitigation is available for this vulnerability. Please make sure to have kernel up-to-date as soon as the patches are available to make sure the flaw mitigated.
