sctp: auth: propagate HMAC calculation errors to callers

2026-08-11T08:43:54+00:00

sctp_auth_calculate_hmac() can fail when building the association secret under memory pressure, but its void return silently leaves the HMAC digest zeroed. On the receive path, sctp_sf_authenticate() compares this zeroed digest against the peer-supplied one using crypto_memneq(), potentially accepting an all-zero HMAC from the peer if the allocation failed. On the send path, sctp_packet_pack() transmits a packet with a zeroed HMAC that the peer would reject. Improve error handling by making sctp_auth_calculate_hmac() return int: - sctp_sf_authenticate() returns SCTP_IERROR_NOMEM instead of accepting a zero HMAC. - sctp_packet_pack() drops the packet on failure instead of transmitting a zeroed HMAC. Update the declaration in auth.h accordingly.

sctp: validate cookie AUTH state before use

2026-08-07T22:02:32+00:00

When cookie authentication is disabled, COOKIE_ECHO restores fixed-size AUTH fields directly from peer-controlled cookie bytes. A forged RANDOM length, HMAC list, or CHUNKS list can then reach association consumers with lengths or identifiers that were never validated against the local backing arrays. A forged RANDOM length can cause out-of-bounds reads during key-vector construction. A forged HMAC identifier also caused a 32-byte write past a zero-length AUTH chunk, providing a primitive for a local privilege escalation chain. Validate the cookie's RANDOM, HMACS, and CHUNKS parameters at the cookie trust boundary before copying them into the association. Reject invalid types, malformed lengths, unsupported HMAC identifiers, HMAC lists without SHA1, and forbidden chunk ids.

sctp: Use HMAC-SHA1 and HMAC-SHA256 library for chunk authentication

2025-08-20T02:36:25+00:00

For SCTP chunk authentication, use the HMAC-SHA1 and HMAC-SHA256 library functions instead of crypto_shash. This is simpler and faster. There's no longer any need to pre-allocate 'crypto_shash' objects; the SCTP code now simply calls into the HMAC code directly. As part of this, make SCTP always support both HMAC-SHA1 and HMAC-SHA256. Previously, it only guaranteed support for HMAC-SHA1. However, HMAC-SHA256 tended to be supported too anyway, as it was supported if CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA256 was enabled elsewhere in the kconfig.

sctp: add sockopt SCTP_AUTH_DEACTIVATE_KEY

2018-03-14T17:48:27+00:00

This patch is to add sockopt SCTP_AUTH_DEACTIVATE_KEY, as described in section 8.3.4 of RFC6458. This set option indicates that the application will no longer send user messages using the indicated key identifier. Note that RFC requires that only deactivated keys that are no longer used by an association can be deleted, but for the backward compatibility, it is not to check deactivated when deleting or replacing one sh_key.

sctp: add refcnt support for sh_key

2018-03-14T17:48:27+00:00

With refcnt support for sh_key, chunks auth sh_keys can be decided before enqueuing it. Changing the active key later will not affect the chunks already enqueued. Furthermore, this is necessary when adding the support for authinfo for sendmsg in next patch. Note that struct sctp_chunk can't be grown due to that performance drop issue on slow cpu, so it just reuses head_skb memory for shkey in sctp_chunk.

net, sctp: convert sctp_auth_bytes.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t

2017-07-04T21:35:18+00:00

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free situations.
