<id>urn:sha1:bf40785fa437c1752117df2edb3220e9c37d98a6</id>
<content type='text'>
For SCTP chunk authentication, use the HMAC-SHA1 and HMAC-SHA256 library
functions instead of crypto_shash.  This is simpler and faster.  There's
no longer any need to pre-allocate 'crypto_shash' objects; the SCTP code
now simply calls into the HMAC code directly.

As part of this, make SCTP always support both HMAC-SHA1 and
HMAC-SHA256.  Previously, it only guaranteed support for HMAC-SHA1.
However, HMAC-SHA256 tended to be supported too anyway, as it was
supported if CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA256 was enabled elsewhere in the kconfig.

This patch deletes the flexible-array hmac[] from the structure
sctp_authhdr to avoid some sparse warnings:

  # make C=2 CF="-Wflexible-array-nested" M=./net/sctp/
  net/sctp/auth.c: note: in included file (through include/net/sctp/structs.h, include/net/sctp/sctp.h):

<title>sctp: handle the error returned from sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key</title>

<id>urn:sha1:022152aaebe116a25c39818a07e175a8cd3c1e11</id>
<content type='text'>
When it returns an error from sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key(), the
active_key is actually not updated. The old sh_key will be freeed
while it's still used as active key in asoc. Then an use-after-free
will be triggered when sending patckets, as found by syzbot:

  sctp_auth_shkey_hold+0x22/0xa0 net/sctp/auth.c:112

  sock_sendmsg_nosec net/socket.c:714 [inline]
  sock_sendmsg+0xcf/0x120 net/socket.c:734

This patch is to fix it by not replacing the sh_key when it returns
errors from sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key() in sctp_auth_set_key().
For sctp_auth_set_active_key(), old active_key_id will be set back
to asoc-&gt;active_key_id when the same thing happens.

<id>urn:sha1:ae954bbc451d267f7d60d7b49db811d5a68ebd7b</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit 58acd1009226 ("sctp: update active_key for asoc when old key is
being replaced"), sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key() is called to update
the active_key right after the old key is deleted and before the new key
is added, and it caused that the active_key could be found with the key_id.

In Ying Xu's testing, the BUG_ON in sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key() was
triggered:

  [ ] kernel BUG at net/sctp/auth.c:416!
  [ ] RIP: 0010:sctp_auth_asoc_init_active_key.part.8+0xe7/0xf0 [sctp]
  [ ] Call Trace:

  [ ]  __x64_sys_setsockopt+0x20/0x30
  [ ]  do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x1a0

So fix it by moving the active_key update after sh_keys is added.

syzbot reported a call trace:

  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in sctp_auth_shkey_hold+0x22/0xa0 net/sctp/auth.c:112
  Call Trace:

   sock_sendmsg_nosec net/socket.c:703 [inline]
   sock_sendmsg+0xcf/0x120 net/socket.c:723

This is an use-after-free issue caused by not updating asoc-&gt;shkey after
it was replaced in the key list asoc-&gt;endpoint_shared_keys, and the old
key was freed.

This patch is to fix by also updating active_key for asoc when old key is
being replaced with a new one. Note that this issue doesn't exist in
sctp_auth_del_key_id(), as it's not allowed to delete the active_key
from the asoc.

<title>mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive()</title>

As said by Linus:

  A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use.
  Otherwise it's actively misleading.

  In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the
  caller wants.

  In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the
  future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or
  something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_.

The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information
that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory
objects.

Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently
added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit.
In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure
that it won't get optimized away by the compiler.

The renaming is done by using the command sequence:

  git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\
  xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/'

followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding
a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.
