[PATCH 3.16 024/129] crypto: pcbc - remove bogus memcpy()s with src == dest

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Jul 07 2019 - 15:46:34 EST


3.16.70-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 251b7aea34ba3c4d4fdfa9447695642eb8b8b098 upstream.

The memcpy()s in the PCBC implementation use walk->iv as both the source
and destination, which has undefined behavior. These memcpy()'s are
actually unneeded, because walk->iv is already used to hold the previous
plaintext block XOR'd with the previous ciphertext block. Thus,
walk->iv is already updated to its final value.

So remove the broken and unnecessary memcpy()s.
