crypto: ecdh - avoid buffer overflow in ecdh_set_secret()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Pavel reports that commit 17858b1 ("crypto: ecdh - avoid unaligned
accesses in ecdh_set_secret()") fixes one problem but introduces another:
the unconditional memcpy() introduced by that commit may overflow the
target buffer if the source data is invalid, which could be the result of
intentional tampering.

So check params.key_size explicitly against the size of the target buffer
before validating the key further.

Fixes: 17858b1 ("crypto: ecdh - avoid unaligned accesses in ecdh_set_secret()")
