krb5_aead_encrypt(), krb5_aead_decrypt() in rfc3961_simplified.c and
rfc8009_encrypt(), rfc8009_decrypt() in rfc8009_aes2.c set a NULL
completion callback and treat any negative return from
crypto_aead_{encrypt,decrypt}() as terminal, falling through to
kfree_sensitive(buffer). When the encrypt_name resolves to an
async AEAD instance the request returns -EINPROGRESS, the buffer
is freed while the backend's worker still holds a pointer, and the
worker dereferences the freed slab on completion.
KASAN report under UML+SLUB with a synthetic async aead backend
bound to krb5->encrypt_name:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in t5_stub_complete+0x7d/0xc7
The helpers were written synchronously, so filter the async
instances out at allocation time instead of plumbing
crypto_wait_req() through every call site.
Reachable via net/rxrpc/rxgk.c, fs/afs/cm_security.c and
net/ceph/crypto.c on systems with an async AEAD provider bound to
the krb5 enctype name.
