Log Message:
No change. Forced commit to record commit message for previous revision, viz:
Fix vulnerability to a denial-of-service attack which passes a
length-0 crypto op. Check for zero length and return EINVAL, taken from:
http://cvsweb.FreeBSD.org/src/sys/opencrypto/cryptodev.c.diff?r1=1.25&r2=1.26
Original FreeBSD log mesage:
Modified files:
sys/opencrypto cryptodev.c
Log:
Fix bogus check. It was possible to panic the kernel by giving 0 length.
This is actually a local DoS, as every user can use /dev/crypto if there
is crypto hardware in the system and cryptodev.ko is loaded (or compiled
into the kernel).
