From eed0e3d305530066b4fc5370107cff8ef1a0d229 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Biggers ebiggers@kernel.org Date: Sat, 9 Aug 2025 10:19:39 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] KEYS: trusted_tpm1: Compare HMAC values in constant time

To prevent timing attacks, HMAC value comparison needs to be constant time. Replace the memcmp() with the correct function, crypto_memneq().

[For the Fixes commit I used the commit that introduced the memcmp(). It predates the introduction of crypto_memneq(), but it was still a bug at the time even though a helper function didn't exist yet.]
