crypto: echainiv - Replace chaining with multiplication
commit 53a5d5dd upstream. The current implementation uses a global per-cpu array to store data which are used to derive the next IV. This is insecure as the attacker may change the stored data. This patch removes all traces of chaining and replaces it with multiplication of the salt and the sequence number. Fixes: a10f554f ("crypto: echainiv - Add encrypted chain IV...")
