This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
crypto: hash - prevent using keyed hashes without setting keyto the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git%3Ba=su...
The filename of the patch is: crypto-hash-prevent-using-keyed-hashes-without-setting-key.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.
Hi Greg, this patch needs some prerequisites including "crypto: hash - annotate algorithms taking optional key". You got all the prerequisites for 4.14 and 4.15 but not all applied to earlier kernels, so you should hold off on this for 4.9 and earlier for now. (The prerequisites by themselves shouldn't break anything though; only this final patch would.) Thanks,
Eric
