Subject: [PATCH 7.1.y 3/3] crypto: atmel-ecc - avoid stale fallback key after set_secret failure
Date: Tue,  1 Sep 2026 17:07:20 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901210720.1603783-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901210720.1603783-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@linux.dev>

[ Upstream commit f07a0d251db7606e4792d2610788fbcc7b2c0d12 ]

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")
