Right, the enc/dec direction should be a local variable and not used from the context.

All other variables are either accessed before or after the sleep that releases the socket. Thus, the other variables are save regarding this issue.

Note, I also checked the code before v4.13: this code is not affected by this issue because the sleep happens before any member of the context is dereferenced.

Eric, may I ask you to check the attached patch? Note, I did not yet test that patch myself. Thanks a lot.

Subject: [PATCH] crypto: AF_ALG - race-free access of encryption flag

The function af_alg_get_rsgl may sleep to wait for additional data. In
this case, the socket lock may be dropped. This allows user space to
change values in the socket data structure. Hence, all variables of the
context that are needed before and after the af_alg_get_rsgl must be
copied into a local variable.

This issue applies to the ctx->enc variable only. Therefore, this
value is copied into a local variable that is used for all operations
before and after the potential sleep and lock release. This implies that
any changes on this variable while the kernel waits for data will only
be picked up in another recvmsg operation.
