[PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 078/305] crypto: nx - Fix timing leak in GCM and CCM decryption

Show all headers | View raw

4.2.8-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: David Gstir <david@sigma-star.at>

commit cb8affb55c7e64816f3effcd9b2fc3268c016fac upstream.

Using non-constant time memcmp() makes the verification of the authentication
tag in the decrypt path vulnerable to timing attacks. Fix this by using
crypto_memneq() instead.
