Hi Herbert,
as discussed in another thread, SGs must not be used with stack memory
pointers. This issue was the culprit to the error I see with the CTR DRBG. The
attached patch fixes the issue.
---8<---
When using SGs, only heap memory (memory that is valid as per
virt_addr_valid) is allowed to be referenced. The CTR DRBG used to
reference the caller-provided memory directly in an SG. In case the
caller provided stack memory pointers, the SG mapping is not considered
to be valid. In some cases, this would even cause a paging fault.
The change adds a new scratch buffer that is used in case the
caller-provided buffer is deemed not suitable for use in an SG. The
crypto operation of the CTR DRBG produces its output with that scratch
buffer.
The scratch buffer is allocated during allocation time of the CTR DRBG
as its access is protected with the DRBG mutex.
