From: Eric Biggers Subject: [PATCH] X.509: fix comparisons of ->pkey_algo Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2017 23:17:24 -0800 Message-ID: <20171127071724.25874-1-ebiggers3@gmail.com> Cc: linux-crypto@vger.kernel.org, Alexander Potapenko , Eric Biggers , stable@vger.kernel.org To: keyrings@vger.kernel.org, David Howells Return-path: Sender: stable-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-crypto.vger.kernel.org From: Eric Biggers ->pkey_algo used to be an enum, but was changed to a string by commit 4e8ae72a75aa ("X.509: Make algo identifiers text instead of enum"). But two comparisons were not updated. Fix them to use strcmp(). This bug broke signature verification in certain configurations, depending on whether the string constants were deduplicated or not.
