3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Tim Sally <tsa...@atomicpeace.com> commit 5f5b331d5c21228a6519dcb793fc1629646c51a6 upstream. The issue occurs when eCryptfs is mounted with a cipher supported by the crypto subsystem but not by eCryptfs. The mount succeeds and an error does not occur until a write. This change checks for eCryptfs cipher support at mount time. Resolves Launchpad issue #338914, reported by Tyler Hicks in 03/2009. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/338914 Signed-off-by: Tim Sally <tsa...@atomicpeace.com> Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhi...@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <b...@decadent.org.uk> --- fs/ecryptfs/main.c | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/ecryptfs/main.c b/fs/ecryptfs/main.c index df217dc..923f6aa 100644 --- a/fs/ecryptfs/main.c +++ b/fs/ecryptfs/main.c @@ -279,6 +279,7 @@ static int ecryptfs_parse_options(struct ecryptfs_sb_info *sbi, char *options, char *fnek_src; char *cipher_key_bytes_src; char *fn_cipher_key_bytes_src; + u8 cipher_code; *check_ruid = 0; @@ -420,6 +421,18 @@ static int ecryptfs_parse_options(struct ecryptfs_sb_info *sbi, char *options, && !fn_cipher_key_bytes_set) mount_crypt_stat->global_default_fn_cipher_key_bytes = mount_crypt_stat->global_default_cipher_key_size; + + cipher_code = ecryptfs_code_for_cipher_string( + mount_crypt_stat->global_default_cipher_name, + mount_crypt_stat->global_default_cipher_key_size); + if (!cipher_code) { + ecryptfs_printk(KERN_ERR, + "eCryptfs doesn't support cipher: %s", + mount_crypt_stat->global_default_cipher_name); + rc = -EINVAL; + goto out; + } + mutex_lock(&key_tfm_list_mutex); if (!ecryptfs_tfm_exists(mount_crypt_stat->global_default_cipher_name, NULL)) { -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
