Subject: Re: [PATCH] crypto: af_alg/hash: Fix uninit-value access in af_alg_free_sg()

Hi,Shigeru and Herbert. Happy New Year anyway.
I also found this bug and tried to reproduce it.
My own syzkaller crashes titled "double-free in af_alg_free_sg” or
“KASAN: use-after-free in af_alg_free_sg” lead me to consider it maybe
a security-related problem.

I reproduced it with repro.c and repro.txt and also bisection to this
commit: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git/commit/crypto/algif_hash.c?id=b6d972f6898308fbe7e693bf8d44ebfdb1cd2dc4

After analysing the uninitialized of ctx->sgl, it may cause (without
KMSAN in linux kernel)

void af_alg_free_sg(struct af_alg_sgl *sgl)
{
  int i;

  if (sgl->sgt.sgl) {
    if (sgl->need_unpin)
      for (i = 0; i < sgl->sgt.nents; i++)
        unpin_user_page(sg_page(&sgl->sgt.sgl[i]));
    if (sgl->sgt.sgl != sgl->sgl)
      kvfree(sgl->sgt.sgl);
    sgl->sgt.sgl = NULL;
  }
}

1. If sgl->sgt.sgl is 0x0, the poc triggers nothing
2. If sgl->sgt.sgl is not null but like 0xbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb,
unpin_user_page will crash like “wild-memory access”.
3. If sgl->sgt.sgl happens to be a pointer whether it is being used or
released, sgl->sgt.nents<0, kvfree can definitely cause uaf or double
free and maybe lead to control flow hijacking.

The incorrect logic of unlock_free label can really cause security issues.

I hope the reproducer and analysis helps.

Best regards.
