Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/3] ipv6: sr: Fix MAC comparison to be constant-time
Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2025 20:11:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250816031136.482400-2-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250816031136.482400-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>
To prevent timing attacks, MACs need to be compared in constant time.
Use the appropriate helper function for this.
Fixes: bf355b8d2c30 ("ipv6: sr: add core files for SR HMAC support")
