      crypto: user - fix info leaks in report API · 9a5467bf
      Mathias Krause authored
      
      Three errors resulting in kernel memory disclosure:
      
      1/ The structures used for the netlink based crypto algorithm report API
      are located on the stack. As snprintf() does not fill the remainder of
      the buffer with null bytes, those stack bytes will be disclosed to users
      of the API. Switch to strncpy() to fix this.
      
      2/ crypto_report_one() does not initialize all field of struct
      crypto_user_alg. Fix this to fix the heap info leak.
      
      3/ For the module name we should copy only as many bytes as
      module_name() returns -- not as much as the destination buffer could
      hold. But the current code does not and therefore copies random data
      from behind the end of the module name, as the module name is always
      shorter than CRYPTO_MAX_ALG_NAME.
      
      Also switch to use strncpy() to copy the algorithm's name and
      driver_name. They are strings, after all.

      crypto: compress - Add pcomp interface · a1d2f095
      Geert Uytterhoeven authored
      
      The current "comp" crypto interface supports one-shot (de)compression only,
      i.e. the whole data buffer to be (de)compressed must be passed at once, and
      the whole (de)compressed data buffer will be received at once.
      In several use-cases (e.g. compressed file systems that store files in big
      compressed blocks), this workflow is not suitable.
      Furthermore, the "comp" type doesn't provide for the configuration of
      (de)compression parameters, and always allocates workspace memory for both
      compression and decompression, which may waste memory.
      
      To solve this, add a "pcomp" partial (de)compression interface that provides
      the following operations:
        - crypto_compress_{init,update,final}() for compression,
        - crypto_decompress_{init,update,final}() for decompression,
        - crypto_{,de}compress_setup(), to configure (de)compression parameters
          (incl. allocating workspace memory).
      
      The (de)compression methods take a struct comp_request, which was mimicked
      after the z_stream object in zlib, and contains buffer pointer and length
      pairs for input and output.
      
      The setup methods take an opaque parameter pointer and length pair. Parameters
      are supposed to be encoded using netlink attributes, whose meanings depend on
      the actual (name of the) (de)compression algorithm.
