Subject: [PATCH] crypto: atmel-ecc - avoid stale fallback key after set_secret failure
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 22:42:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708204246.618591-3-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
Clear ->do_fallback before decoding a new ECDH secret and enable it only
after the software fallback accepts a caller-provided private key. This
avoids using a stale fallback key should crypto_kpp_set_secret() fail.
Fixes: 11105693fa05 ("crypto: atmel-ecc - introduce Microchip / Atmel ECC driver")
