Subject: [PATCH net v2] ipv6: sr: Fix MAC comparison to be constant-time
Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2025 13:27:24 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250818202724.15713-1-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
To prevent timing attacks, MACs need to be compared in constant time.
Use the appropriate helper function for this.
Fixes: bf355b8d2c30 ("ipv6: sr: add core files for SR HMAC support")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
