Subject: [PATCH 02/38] crypto: drbg - Fix misaligned writes in CTR_DRBG and HASH_DRBG
Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2026 23:33:46 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420063422.324906-3-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260420063422.324906-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>

drbg_cpu_to_be32() is being used to do a plain write to a byte array,
which doesn't have any alignment guarantee.  This can cause a misaligned
write.  Replace it with the correct function, put_unaligned_be32().

Fixes: 72f3e00dd67e ("crypto: drbg - replace int2byte with cpu_to_be")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org>
