Subject: [PATCH RESEND] lib/mpi: avoid null pointer deref in mpi_cmp_ui()
Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2023 09:32:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230804093218.418276-1-shiftee@posteo.net> (raw)
During NVMeTCP Authentication a controller can trigger a kernel
oops by specifying the 8192 bit Diffie Hellman group and passing
a correctly sized, but zeroed Diffie Hellamn value.
mpi_cmp_ui() was detecting this if the second parameter was 0,
but 1 is passed from dh_is_pubkey_valid(). This causes the null
pointer u->d to be dereferenced towards the end of mpi_cmp_ui()
