If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Taeyang Lee <0wn@theori.io> [ Upstream commit 2397e9264676be7794f8f7f1e9763d90bd3c7335 ] authencesn assumes an ESP/ESN-formatted AAD. When assoclen is shorter than the minimum expected length, crypto_authenc_esn_decrypt() can advance past the end of the destination scatterlist and trigger a NULL pointer dereference in scatterwalk_map_and_copy(), leading to a kernel panic (DoS). Add a minimum AAD length check to fail fast on invalid inputs.
