[PATCH 4.4 21/91] crypto: api - Check spawn->alg under lock in crypto_drop_spawn

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

 



From: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7db3b61b6bba4310f454588c2ca6faf2958ad79f upstream.

We need to check whether spawn->alg is NULL under lock as otherwise
the algorithm could be removed from under us after we have checked
it and found it to be non-NULL.  This could cause us to remove the
spawn from a non-existent list.
