From: Stephan Mueller <smueller@chronox.de>
commit 1d4ba7f963a93a2207fd103d4a36df1b5aeefea2 upstream.
Fixed differently upstream as commit 2d97591ef43d ("crypto: af_alg - consolidation of duplicate code")
The SGL is MAX_SGL_ENTS + 1 in size. The last SG entry is used for the chaining and is properly updated with the sg_chain invocation. During the filling-in of the initial SG entries, sg_mark_end is called for each SG entry. This is appropriate as long as no additional SGL is chained with the current SGL. However, when a new SGL is chained and the last SG entry is updated with sg_chain, the last but one entry still contains the end marker from the sg_mark_end. This end marker must be removed as otherwise a walk of the chained SGLs will cause a NULL pointer dereference at the last but one SG entry, because sg_next will return NULL.
The patch only applies to all kernels up to and including 4.13. The patch 2d97591ef43d0587be22ad1b0d758d6df4999a0b added to 4.14-rc1 introduced a complete new code base which addresses this bug in a different way. Yet, that patch is too invasive for stable kernels and was therefore not marked for stable.
