[PATCH] crypto: ecdh_helper - Ensure 'len >= secret.len' in decode_key()

From: Daniele Alessandrelli
Date: Wed Feb 03 2021 - 06:32:17 EST


From: Daniele Alessandrelli <daniele.alessandrelli@xxxxxxxxx>

The length ('len' parameter) passed to crypto_ecdh_decode_key() is never
checked against the length encoded in the passed buffer ('buf'
parameter). This could lead to an out-of-bounds access when the passed
length is less than the encoded length.

Add a check to prevent that.
