[PATCH][V2] s390/crypto: initialize ret to nbytes to avoid returning garbage value

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Static analysis with cppcheck detected that ret is not initialized
and hence garbage is potentially being returned in the case where
prng_data->ppnows.reseed_counter <= prng_reseed_limit.

Thanks to Martin Schwidefsky for spotting a mistake in my original
fix.
