[PATCH 3.18 12/28] IPsec: do not ignore crypto err in ah4 input

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

 



3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Gilad Ben-Yossef <gilad@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit ebd89a2d0675f1325c2be5b7576fd8cb7e8defd0 ]

ah4 input processing uses the asynchronous hash crypto API which
supplies an error code as part of the operation completion but
the error code was being ignored.

Treat a crypto API error indication as a verification failure.

While a crypto API reported error would almost certainly result
in a memcpy of the digest failing anyway and thus the security
risk seems minor, performing a memory compare on what might be
uninitialized memory is wrong.
