This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled Bluetooth: hci_event: Fix using memcmp when comparing keys to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: bluetooth-hci_event-fix-using-memcmp-when-comparing-.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 25dd7a7ff6f5d73f23cf5383713b4173ada706cd Author: Luiz Augusto von Dentz <luiz.von.dentz@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Oct 5 13:59:59 2023 -0700 Bluetooth: hci_event: Fix using memcmp when comparing keys [ Upstream commit b541260615f601ae1b5d6d0cc54e790de706303b ] memcmp is not consider safe to use with cryptographic secrets: 'Do not use memcmp() to compare security critical data, such as cryptographic secrets, because the required CPU time depends on the number of equal bytes.' While usage of memcmp for ZERO_KEY may not be considered a security critical data, it can lead to more usage of memcmp with pairing keys which could introduce more security problems.
