Subject: [PATCH 5.15] ksmbd: Compare MACs in constant time
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 12:52:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260310195259.70949-1-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
commit c5794709bc9105935dbedef8b9cf9c06f2b559fa upstream.
To prevent timing attacks, MAC comparisons need to be constant-time.
Replace the memcmp() with the correct function, crypto_memneq().
Fixes: e2f34481b24d ("cifsd: add server-side procedures for SMB3")
