From 046f6e8adfd37049d578844eeb06ed093805783b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pan Bian Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2018 18:00:16 +0800 Subject: crypto: do not free algorithm before using In multiple functions, the algorithm fields are read after its reference is dropped through crypto_mod_put. In this case, the algorithm memory may be freed, resulting in use-after-free bugs. This patch delays the put operation until the algorithm is never used.
