From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@huawei.com> stable inclusion from stable-v4.19.125 commit 4c7a2e76ae93577628a022d2d2adf5e0d8a89147 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/I6AAU7 CVE: NA ---------------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 53de3b080d5eae31d0de219617155dcc34e7d698 ] This patch avoids a kernel panic due to accessing an error pointer set by crypto_alloc_shash(). It occurs especially when there are many files that require an unsupported algorithm, as it would increase the likelihood of the following race condition: Task A: *tfm = crypto_alloc_shash() <= error pointer Task B: if (*tfm == NULL) <= *tfm is not NULL, use it Task B: rc = crypto_shash_init(desc) <= panic Task A: *tfm = NULL This patch uses the IS_ERR_OR_NULL macro to determine whether or not a new crypto context must be created.
