From a964f395614af195cf5c5caa84a9c487b86d5ba5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tycho Andersen Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2018 14:26:37 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] big key: get rid of stack array allocation We're interested in getting rid of all of the stack allocated arrays in the kernel [1]. This patch simply hardcodes the iv length to match that of the hardcoded cipher. [1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621 v2: hardcode the length of the nonce to be the GCM AES IV length, and do a sanity check in init(), Eric Biggers v3: * remember to free big_key_aead when sanity check fails * define a constant for big key IV size so it can be changed along side the algorithm in the code Signed-off-by: Tycho Andersen Reviewed-by: Kees Cook CC: David Howells CC: James Morris CC: "Serge E.
