From: Eric Biggers ebiggers@google.com Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2019 23:46:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] crypto: arm/aes-neonbs - don't access already-freed walk.iv
If the user-provided IV needs to be aligned to the algorithm's alignmask, then skcipher_walk_virt() copies the IV into a new aligned buffer walk.iv. But skcipher_walk_virt() can fail afterwards, and then if the caller unconditionally accesses walk.iv, it's a use-after-free.
arm32 xts-aes-neonbs doesn't set an alignmask, so currently it isn't affected by this despite unconditionally accessing walk.iv. However this is more subtle than desired, and it was actually broken prior to the alignmask being removed by commit cc477bf64573 ("crypto: arm/aes - replace bit-sliced OpenSSL NEON code"). Thus, update xts-aes-neonbs to start checking the return value of skcipher_walk_virt().
