[RESEND PATCH] KEYS: asymmetric: Fix ECDSA use via keyctl uapi

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

 



When support for ECDSA keys was added, constraints for data & signature
sizes were never updated.  This makes it impossible to use such keys via
keyctl API from userspace; fix that.

Fixes: 299f561a6693 ("x509: Add support for parsing x509 certs with ECDSA keys")
