Thanks.

However, what about the first patch from this series?
Without it, while it no longer should cause a buffer overflow, in-kernel
X.509 certificate verification will still fail with CCP driver loaded
(since CCP RSA implementation has a higher priority than the software
RSA implementation).

I commented on that one here:

Effectively a NACK. We are a reviewing a proposed patch right now.

Your earlier comment referred to the third patch from this series.
My message above was about the first one.

That normally goes through the security tree.
