* net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logicHannes Frederic Sowa2013-11-201-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch now always passes msg->msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must set msg_namelen to the proper size <= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) to return msg_name to the user. This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak uninitialized memory. Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets msg_name to NULL. Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David Miller. Changes since RFC: Set msg->msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of verify_iovec. With this change in place I could remove " if (!uaddr || msg_sys->msg_namelen == 0) msg->msg_name = NULL ". This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL. Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change comments to netdev style.

* crypto: algif - suppress sending source address information in recvmsgMathias Krause2013-04-101-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | The current code does not set the msg_namelen member to 0 and therefore makes net/socket.c leak the local sockaddr_storage variable to userland -- 128 bytes of kernel stack memory. Fix that. Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 2.6.38 Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* crypto: algif_hash - Handle initial af_alg_make_sg error correctlyHerbert Xu2011-06-301-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | When the first call to af_alg_make_sg fails, we may return garbage instead of the real error. This patch fixes it by setting the error if "copied" is zero. Based on a patch by Jesper Juhl. Reported-by: Jesper Juhl <jj@chaosbits.net> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
* crypto: algif_hash - User-space interface for hash operationsHerbert Xu2010-11-191-0/+319
This patch adds the af_alg plugin for hash, corresponding to the ahash kernel operation type. Keys can optionally be set through the setsockopt interface. Each sendmsg call will finalise the hash unless sent with a MSG_MORE flag. Partial hash states can be cloned using accept(2). The interface is completely synchronous, all operations will complete prior to the system call returning. Both sendmsg(2) and splice(2) support reading the user-space data directly without copying (except that the Crypto API itself may copy the data if alignment is off). For now only the splice(2) interface supports performing digest instead of init/update/final. In future the sendmsg(2) interface will also be modified to use digest/finup where possible so that hardware that cannot return a partial hash state can still benefit from this interface. Thakns to Miloslav Trmac for reviewing this and contributing fixes and improvements. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Acked-by: David S.
