PATCH v2 1/5 crypto: rsa-pkcs1pad - only allow with rsa

From: Eric Biggers <[email protected]>

The pkcs1pad template can be instantiated with an arbitrary akcipher algorithm, which doesn't make sense; it is specifically an RSA padding scheme. Make it check that the underlying algorithm really is RSA.

PATCH v2 2/5 crypto: rsa-pkcs1pad - correctly get hash from source scatterlist

In reply to Eric Biggers

From: Eric Biggers <[email protected]>

Commit c7381b012872 ("crypto: akcipher - new verify API for public key algorithms") changed akcipher_alg::verify to take in both the signature and the actual hash and do the signature verification, rather than just return the hash expected by the signature as was the case before. To do this, it implemented a hack where the signature and hash are concatenated with each other in one scatterlist.

Obviously, for this to work correctly, akcipher_alg::verify needs to correctly extract the two items from the scatterlist it is given. Unfortunately, it doesn't correctly extract the hash in the case where the signature is longer than the RSA key size, as it assumes that the signature's length is equal to the RSA key size. This causes a prefix of the hash, or even the entire hash, to be taken from the *signature*.

(Note, the case of a signature longer than the RSA key size should not be allowed in the first place; a separate patch will fix that.)

It is unclear whether the resulting scheme has any useful security properties.

Fix this by correctly extracting the hash from the scatterlist.

PATCH v2 3/5 crypto: rsa-pkcs1pad - restore signature length check

In reply to Eric Biggers

From: Eric Biggers <[email protected]>

RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures are required to be the same length as the RSA key size. RFC8017 specifically requires the verifier to check this
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8017#section-8.2.2).

Commit a49de377e051 ("crypto: Add hash param to pkcs1pad") changed the kernel to allow longer signatures, but didn't explain this part of the change; it seems to be unrelated to the rest of the commit.

Revert this change, since it doesn't appear to be correct.

We can be pretty sure that no one is relying on overly-long signatures (which would have to be front-padded with zeroes) being supported, given that they would have been broken since commit c7381b012872 ("crypto: akcipher - new verify API for public key algorithms").

PATCH v2 4/5 crypto: rsa-pkcs1pad - fix buffer overread in pkcs1pad_verify_complete()

In reply to Eric Biggers

From: Eric Biggers <[email protected]>

Before checking whether the expected digest_info is present, we need to check that there are enough bytes remaining.

PATCH v2 5/5 crypto: rsa-pkcs1pad - use clearer variable names

In reply to Eric Biggers

From: Eric Biggers <[email protected]>

The new convention for akcipher_alg::verify makes it unclear which values are the lengths of the signature and digest. Add local variables to make it clearer what is going on.

Also rename the digest_size variable in pkcs1pad_sign(), as it is actually the digest *info* size, not the digest size which is different.
