Subject: [PATCH 1/1] crypto: set error code when kcalloc fails
Date: Thu,  1 Dec 2016 10:04:43 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1480557883-18844-1-git-send-email-bianpan2016@163.com> (raw)

Fix bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=188521. In function
skcipher_recvmsg_async(), variable err takes the return value, and its
value should be negative on failures. Because variable err may be
reassigned and checked before calling kcalloc(), its value may be 0
(indicates no error) even if kcalloc() fails. This patch fixes the bug
by explicitly assigning -ENOMEM to err when kcalloc() returns a NULL
pointer.
