Subject: [PATCH] KEYS: asymmetric: enforce that sig algo matches key algo
Git-commit: 2abc9c246e0548e52985b10440c9ea3e9f65f793
Patch-mainline: v5.18-rc1
References: git-fixes

Most callers of public_key_verify_signature(), including most indirect
callers via verify_signature() as well as pkcs7_verify_sig_chain(),
don't check that public_key_signature::pkey_algo matches
public_key::pkey_algo.  These should always match.  However, a malicious
signature could intentionally declare an unintended algorithm.  It is
essential that such signatures be rejected outright, or that the
algorithm of the *key* be used -- not the algorithm of the signature as
that would allow attackers to choose the algorithm used.

Currently, public_key_verify_signature() correctly uses the key's
algorithm when deciding which akcipher to allocate.  That's good.
However, it uses the signature's algorithm when deciding whether to do
the first step of SM2, which is incorrect.  Also, v4.19 and older
kernels used the signature's algorithm for the entire process.

Prevent such errors by making public_key_verify_signature() enforce that
the signature's algorithm (if given) matches the key's algorithm.

Also remove two checks of this done by callers, which are now redundant.
