Doruk Tan Ozturk 7dc44840ca crypto: rsa-pkcs1pad: Don't WARN on an empty digest
KEYCTL_PKEY_VERIFY lets an unprivileged caller supply a zero-length
digest (in_len == 0).  keyctl_pkey_params_get_2() accepts the zero
length and the request reaches pkcs1pad_verify(), where the empty
digest is rejected but only after being passed through
WARN_ON(!digest_size).  The warning is therefore directly
user-triggerable, and on kernels built with panic_on_warn=1 an
unprivileged process can panic the machine -- a local denial of
service.  Reproduced as UID 65534 in a setuid sandbox.

Keep rejecting the invalid request with -EINVAL, but do not emit a
warning for the user-controlled length.

Mainline does not contain this code path; commit 1e562deace
("crypto: rsassa-pkcs1 - Migrate to sig_alg backend") removed
pkcs1pad_verify() in v6.13-rc1.  This is a minimal fix for the
affected stable branches.  It applies as-is to 6.1.y, 6.6.y and
6.12.y (identical pkcs1pad_verify); the 5.10.y/5.15.y form is sent
as a separate patch due to the older req->dst_len spelling.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
