From 1b87887d6c232becba77835b29a424cf78442b7d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Tue, 1 Jan 2008 15:44:50 +1100 Subject: [CRYPTO] xcbc: Fix algorithm leak when block size check fails When the underlying algorithm has a block size other than 16 we abort without freeing it. In fact, we try to return the algorithm itself as an error! This patch plugs the leak and makes it return -EINVAL instead.
