[PATCH 1/8] lib/mpi: mpi_write_sgl(): fix skipping of leading zero limbs
From: Nicolai Stange
Date: Thu Mar 17 2016 - 14:00:46 EST
Currently, if the number of leading zeros is greater than fits into a
complete limb, mpi_write_sgl() skips them by iterating over them limb-wise.
However, it fails to adjust its internal leading zeros tracking variable,
lzeros, accordingly: it does a
p -= sizeof(alimb);
continue;
which should really have been a
lzeros -= sizeof(alimb);
continue;
Since lzeros never decreases if its initial value >= sizeof(alimb), nothing
gets copied by mpi_write_sgl() in that case.
Instead of skipping the high order zero limbs within the loop as shown
above, fix the issue by adjusting the copying loop's bounds.
