Resending since I typed incorrect email address.
When using aes-xcbc-mac for authentication in IPsec,
the kernel crashes. It seems this algorithm doesn't
account for the space IPsec may make in scatterlist for authtag.
Thus when crypto_xcbc_digest_update2() gets called,
nbytes may be less than sg[i].length.
Since nbytes is an unsigned number, it wraps
at the end of the loop allowing us to go back
into loop when we shouldn't.
I used update function in digest.c to model this fix.
Please let me know if it looks ok.
regards,
Joy
