Subject: Bluetooth: use constant time memory comparison for secret values
From: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 329d82309824ff1082dc4a91a5bbed8c3bec1580 upstream.
This file is filled with complex cryptography. Thus, the comparisons of
MACs and secret keys and curve points and so forth should not add timing
attacks, which could either result in a direct forgery, or, given the
complexity, some other type of attack.
