[PATCH] crypto: zynqmp-sha - fix NULL pointer dereference in init_tfm
Posted by Thorsten Blum 2 weeks, 3 days ago
zynqmp_sha_init_tfm() checks crypto_shash_statesize(tfm_ctx->fbk_tfm)
before assigning the fallback transform to it, which dereferences a NULL
pointer since the transform context is zero-initialized. Use the local
fallback_tfm pointer for the size check instead.

Fixes: c1dd353d18e5 ("crypto: zynqmp-sha - Make descsize an algorithm attribute")
