[PATCH 1/4] crypto: handle EBUSY due to backlog correctly

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

 



public_key_verify_signature() was passing the CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG
flag to akcipher_request_set_callback() but was not handling correctly
the case where a -EBUSY error could be returned from the call to
crypto_akcipher_verify() if backlog was used, possibly casuing
data corruption due to use-after-free of buffers.

Resolve this by handling -EBUSY correctly.
