[PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 079/305] crypto: talitos - Fix timing leak in ESP ICV verification

[Kamal Mostafa]

4.2.8-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: David Gstir <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 79960943fdc114fd4583c9ab164b5c89da7aa601 upstream.

Using non-constant time memcmp() makes the verification of the authentication
tag in the decrypt path vulnerable to timing attacks. Fix this by using
crypto_memneq() instead.
