[PATCH 1/5] crypto: fix memory leak in rsa-kcs1pad encryption

From: Dan Aloni
Date: Sat Dec 30 2017 - 12:58:17 EST


From: Dan Aloni <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The encryption mode of pkcs1pad never uses out_sg and out_buf, so
there's no need to allocate the buffer, which presently is not even
being freed.
