From: Stephan Mueller Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] MPI: fix off by one in mpi_read_raw_from_sgl Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2015 12:45:18 +0200 Message-ID: <3192672.E3TvJmsW94@myon.chronox.de> References: <1831785.BBs8Hj3CxY@myon.chronox.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Cc: linux-crypto@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linux-api@vger.kernel.org To: herbert@gondor.apana.org.au Return-path: In-Reply-To: <1831785.BBs8Hj3CxY@myon.chronox.de> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-crypto.vger.kernel.org The patch fixes the analysis of the input data which contains an off by one. The issue is visible when the SGL contains one byte per SG entry. The code for checking for zero bytes does not operate on the data byte.
