Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] KEYS: trusted_tpm1: Compare HMAC values in constant time
Date: Sat,  9 Aug 2025 10:19:39 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250809171941.5497-2-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250809171941.5497-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>

To prevent timing attacks, HMAC value comparison needs to be constant
time.  Replace the memcmp() with the correct function, crypto_memneq().

[For the Fixes commit I used the commit that introduced the memcmp().
It predates the introduction of crypto_memneq(), but it was still a bug
at the time even though a helper function didn't exist yet.]

Fixes: d00a1c72f7f4 ("keys: add new trusted key-type")
