From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Variable err is not uninitialized and hence can potentially contain any garbage value. This may cause an error when logical or'ing the return values from the calls to functions crypto_aead_setauthsize or crypto_aead_setkey. Fix this by setting err to the return of crypto_aead_setauthsize rather than or'ing in the return into the uninitialized variable Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized scalar variable") Fixes: fc1b6d6de220 ("tipc: introduce TIPC encryption & authentication") Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- net/tipc/crypto.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/net/tipc/crypto.c b/net/tipc/crypto.c index 05f7ca76e8ce..990a872cec46 100644 --- a/net/tipc/crypto.c +++ b/net/tipc/crypto.c @@ -463,7 +463,7 @@ static int tipc_aead_init(struct tipc_aead **aead, struct tipc_aead_key *ukey, break; } - err |= crypto_aead_setauthsize(tfm, TIPC_AES_GCM_TAG_SIZE); + err = crypto_aead_setauthsize(tfm, TIPC_AES_GCM_TAG_SIZE); err |= crypto_aead_setkey(tfm, ukey->key, keylen); if (unlikely(err)) { crypto_free_aead(tfm); -- 2.20.1
