From: Stephan Mueller smueller@chronox.de Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2018 08:55:25 +0100 Subject: crypto: af_alg - whitelist mask and type
From: Stephan Mueller smueller@chronox.de
commit bb30b8848c85e18ca7e371d0a869e94b3e383bdf upstream.
The user space interface allows specifying the type and mask field used to allocate the cipher. Only a subset of the possible flags are intended for user space. Therefore, white-list the allowed flags.
In case the user space caller uses at least one non-allowed flag, EINVAL is returned.
