Subject: [PATCH net v2 2/4] crypto/krb5, rxrpc: Fix lack of pre-decrypt/pre-verify length checks
Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 14:19:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260513131941.1439155-3-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260513131941.1439155-1-dhowells@redhat.com>

Change the krb5 crypto library to provide facilities to precheck the length
of the message about to be decrypted or verified.

Fix AF_RXRPC to make use of this to validate DATA packets secured with
RxGK.

Fixes: 9d1d2b59341f ("rxrpc: rxgk: Implement the yfs-rxgk security class (GSSAPI)")
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260511160753.607296-1-dhowells%40redhat.com
