[PATCH -resend with CC] crypto: algif_hash, avoid zero-sized array

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Thu Dec 15 2016 - 08:31:43 EST


With this reproducer:
struct sockaddr_alg alg = {
.salg_family = 0x26,
.salg_type = "hash",
.salg_feat = 0xf,
.salg_mask = 0x5,
.salg_name = "digest_null",
};
int sock, sock2;

sock = socket(AF_ALG, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0);
bind(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&alg, sizeof(alg));
sock2 = accept(sock, NULL, NULL);
setsockopt(sock, SOL_ALG, ALG_SET_KEY, "\x9b\xca", 2);
accept(sock2, NULL, NULL);

==== 8< ======== 8< ======== 8< ======== 8< ====

one can immediatelly see an UBSAN warning:
UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in crypto/algif_hash.c:187:7

It is a correct warning, as hash state is propagated to accept as zero,
but creating a zero-length variable array is not allowed in C.

Fix this as proposed by Herbert -- do "?: 1" on that site. No sizeof or
similar happens in the code there, so we just allocate one byte even
though we do not use the array.
