Subject: [PATCH 1/3] KEYS: trusted_tpm1: Compare HMAC values in constant time
Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2025 14:23:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250731212354.105044-2-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250731212354.105044-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>

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

Fixes: d00a1c72f7f4 ("keys: add new trusted key-type")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org>
