Revision 72f9a07b6bfaefdc29fcb75dafa8867a4f6d8317 authored by Eric Biggers on 08 December 2017, 15:13:29 UTC, committed by David Howells on 08 December 2017, 15:13:29 UTC
In public_key_verify_signature(), if akcipher_request_alloc() fails, we
return -ENOMEM.  But that error code was set 25 lines above, and by
accident someone could easily insert new code in between that assigns to
'ret', which would introduce a signature verification bypass.  Make the
code clearer by moving the -ENOMEM down to where it is used.

Additionally, the callers of public_key_verify_signature() only consider
a negative return value to be an error.  This means that if any positive
return value is accidentally introduced deeper in the call stack (e.g.
'return EBADMSG' instead of 'return -EBADMSG' somewhere in RSA),
signature verification will be bypassed.  Make things more robust by
having public_key_verify_signature() warn about positive errors and
translate them into -EINVAL.
