Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tls: rx: restore msg_iter before TLS 1.3 optimistic retry
tls_decrypt_sg() advances msg->msg_iter when it maps user pages for
the optimistic TLS 1.3 zero-copy path. If the decrypted record turns
out not to be unpadded application data, tls_decrypt_sw() retries into
a kernel skb, but leaves the iterator advanced.
The subsequent copy from the skb then writes decrypted bytes again at
a later point in the caller iovecs while recvmsg() reports only the
post-retry length. A TLS peer can trigger this after the receiver
enables TLS_RX_EXPECT_NO_PAD.
Revert the iterator by the number of bytes consumed by the optimistic
mapping before retrying without zero-copy.
Add a selftest which sends a TLS 1.3 control record with
TLS_RX_EXPECT_NO_PAD enabled and verifies that recvmsg() does not
overwrite later iovecs beyond the returned length.
