We miss to take the crypto_alg_sem semaphore when traversing the
crypto_alg_list for CRYPTO_MSG_GETALG dumps. This allows a race with
crypto_unregister_alg() removing algorithms from the list while we're
still traversing it, thereby leading to a use-after-free as show below:
To trigger the race run the following loops simultaneously for a while:
$ while : ; do modprobe aesni-intel; rmmod aesni-intel; done
$ while : ; do crconf show all > /dev/null; done
Fix the race by taking the crypto_alg_sem read lock, thereby preventing
crypto_unregister_alg() from modifying the algorithm list during the
dump.
This bug has been detected by the PaX memory sanitize feature.
