[PATCH] crypto: aesni-intel - fix wrong kfree pointer

From: Milan Broz <hidden>
Date: 2012-06-28 15:26:12
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

kfree(new_key_mem) in rfc4106_set_key() should be called on malloced pointer,
not on aligned one, otherwise it can cause invalid pointer on free.

(Seen at least once when running tcrypt tests with debug kernel.)
