Subject: crypto: dh - Don't permit 'key' or 'g' size longer than 'p'
From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit ccd9888f14a8019c0bbdeeae758aba1f58693712 upstream.
The "qat-dh" DH implementation assumes that 'key' and 'g' can be copied
into a buffer with size 'p_size'. However it was never checked that
that was actually the case, which most likely allowed users to cause a
buffer underflow via KEYCTL_DH_COMPUTE.
Fix this by updating crypto_dh_decode_key() to verify this precondition
for all DH implementations.
