Subject: [PATCH] crypto: vmx -  fix null dereference in p8_aes_xts_crypt
Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2016 15:34:40 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1472024080.3313.20.camel@TP420> (raw)

walk.iv is not assigned a value in blkcipher_walk_init. It makes iv uninitialized.
It is possibly a null value(as shown below), which is then used by aes_p8_encrypt. 

This patch moves iv = walk.iv after blkcipher_walk_virt, in which walk.iv is set.
