    crypto: aesni - handle zero length dst buffer · 9c674e1e
    Stephan Mueller authored
    GCM can be invoked with a zero destination buffer. This is possible if
    the AAD and the ciphertext have zero lengths and only the tag exists in
    the source buffer (i.e. a source buffer cannot be zero). In this case,
    the GCM cipher only performs the authentication and no decryption
    operation.
    
    When the destination buffer has zero length, it is possible that no page
    is mapped to the SG pointing to the destination. In this case,
    sg_page(req->dst) is an invalid access. Therefore, page accesses should
    only be allowed if the req->dst->length is non-zero which is the
    indicator that a page must exist.
    
    This fixes a crash that can be triggered by user space via AF_ALG.
