+Subject: [PATCH] crypto: ghash - Avoid null pointer dereference if no key is
+ set
+
+commit 7ed47b7d142ec99ad6880bbbec51e9f12b3af74c upstream.
+
+The ghash_update function passes a pointer to gf128mul_4k_lle which will
+be NULL if ghash_setkey is not called or if the most recent call to
+ghash_setkey failed to allocate memory.  This causes an oops.  Fix this
+up by returning an error code in the null case.
+
+This is trivially triggered from unprivileged userspace through the
+AF_ALG interface by simply writing to the socket without setting a key.
+
+The ghash_final function has a similar issue, but triggering it requires
+a memory allocation failure in ghash_setkey _after_ at least one
+successful call to ghash_update.
