Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: tls: prevent chain-after-chain in plain text SG
Sashiko points out that if end = 0 (start != 0) the current
code will create a chain link to content type right after
the wrap link:
This would create a chain where the wrap link points directly
to another chain link. The scatterlist API sg_next iterator
does not recursively resolve consecutive chain links.
meaning this is illegal input to crypto.
The wrapping link is unnecessary if end = 0. end is the entry after
the last one used so end = 0 means there's nothing pushed after
the wrap:
end start i
v v v
[ ]...[ ][ d ][ d ][ d ][ d ][rsv for wrap]
Skip the wrapping in this case.
TLS 1.3 can use the "wrapping slot" for it's chaining if end = 0.
This avoids the chain-after-chain.
Move the wrap chaining before marking END and chaining off content
type, that feels like more logical ordering to me, but should not
matter from functional perspective.
