What originally cought my attention was that gen_essiv_salt has a size_t return type and error paths that return -1 on failure. Further investigation revealed that the error value is never checked for. The encrypt_block function doesn't use the return value in any way and simply continues onward. Furthermore, the gen_essiv_salt function has an error case that emits an error message but returns success state. This patch modifes gen_essiv_salt to return an error status in all error branches, changes the return type to ssize_t and adds a check to encrypt_block if gen_essiv_salt fails.
