From 79960943fdc114fd4583c9ab164b5c89da7aa601 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Gstir Date: Sun, 15 Nov 2015 17:14:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] crypto: talitos - Fix timing leak in ESP ICV verification 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.
