[PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 078/305] crypto: nx - Fix timing leak in GCM and CCM decryption

From: Kamal Mostafa <hidden>
Date: 2016-01-16 01:18:56
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: crypto api, ibm power in-nest crypto acceleration, linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Herbert Xu, "David S. Miller", Breno Leitão, Nayna Jain, Paulo Flabiano Smorigo, Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

4.2.8-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: David Gstir <david@sigma-star.at>

commit cb8affb55c7e64816f3effcd9b2fc3268c016fac upstream.

Using non-constant time memcmp() makes the verification of the authentication
tag in the decrypt path vulnerable to timing attacks. Fix this by using
crypto_memneq() instead.
