Subject: CVE-2022-48629: crypto: qcom-rng - ensure buffer for generate is completely filled
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: qcom-rng - ensure buffer for generate is completely filled
The generate function in struct rng_alg expects that the destination
buffer is completely filled if the function returns 0. qcom_rng_read()
can run into a situation where the buffer is partially filled with
randomness and the remaining part of the buffer is zeroed since
qcom_rng_generate() doesn't check the return value. This issue can
be reproduced by running the following from libkcapi:
kcapi-rng -b 9000000 > OUTFILE
The generated OUTFILE will have three huge sections that contain all
zeros, and this is caused by the code where the test
'val & PRNG_STATUS_DATA_AVAIL' fails.
Let's fix this issue by ensuring that qcom_rng_read() always returns
with a full buffer if the function returns success. Let's also have
qcom_rng_generate() return the correct value.
Here's some statistics from the ent project
(https://www.fourmilab.ch/random/) that shows information about the
quality of the generated numbers:
$ ent -c qcom-random-before
Value Char Occurrences Fraction
0 606748 0.067416
1 33104 0.003678
2 33001 0.003667
...
253 � 32883 0.003654
254 � 33035 0.003671
255 � 33239 0.003693
Total: 9000000 1.000000
Entropy = 7.811590 bits per byte.
Optimum compression would reduce the size
of this 9000000 byte file by 2 percent.
Chi square distribution for 9000000 samples is 9329962.81, and
randomly would exceed this value less than 0.01 percent of the
times.
Arithmetic mean value of data bytes is 119.3731 (127.5 = random).
Monte Carlo value for Pi is 3.197293333 (error 1.77 percent).
Serial correlation coefficient is 0.159130 (totally uncorrelated =
0.0).
Without this patch, the results of the chi-square test is 0.01%, and
the numbers are certainly not random according to ent's project page.
The results improve with this patch:
$ ent -c qcom-random-after
Value Char Occurrences Fraction
0 35432 0.003937
1 35127 0.003903

255 � 35368 0.003930
Total: 9000000 1.000000
Entropy = 7.999979 bits per byte.
Optimum compression would reduce the size
of this 9000000 byte file by 0 percent.
Chi square distribution for 9000000 samples is 258.77, and randomly
would exceed this value 42.24 percent of the times.
Arithmetic mean value of data bytes is 127.5006 (127.5 = random).
Monte Carlo value for Pi is 3.141277333 (error 0.01 percent).
Serial correlation coefficient is 0.000468 (totally uncorrelated =
0.0).
This change was tested on a Nexus 5 phone (msm8974 SoC).
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-48629 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
