From: Eric Biggers ebiggers@google.com

commit 794b4bc292f5d31739d89c0202c54e7dc9bc3add upstream.

With the 'encrypted' key type it was possible for userspace to provide a data blob ending with a master key description shorter than expected, e.g. 'keyctl add encrypted desc "new x" @s'. When validating such a master key description, validate_master_desc() could read beyond the end of the buffer. Fix this by using strncmp() instead of memcmp(). [Also clean up the code to deduplicate some logic.]
