Linux kernel source tree
57ead1bf1c
An often overlooked aspect of the skcipher walker API is that an error is not just indicated by a non-zero return value, but by the fact that walk->nbytes is zero. Thus it is an error to call skcipher_walk_done after getting back walk->nbytes == 0 from the previous interaction with the walker. This is because when walk->nbytes is zero the walker is left in an undefined state and any further calls to it may try to free uninitialised stack memory. The arm64 ccm code has to deal with zero-length messages, and it needs to process data even when walk->nbytes == 0 is returned. It doesn't have this bug because there is an explicit check for walk->nbytes != 0 prior to the skcipher_walk_done call. However, the loop is still sufficiently different from the usual layout and it appears to have been copied into other code which then ended up with this bug. This patch rewrites it to follow the usual convention of checking walk->nbytes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
