[PATCH] fs: crypto: keyinfo: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in derive_key_aes()

From: Jia-Ju Bai
Date: Wed Jul 24 2019 - 06:02:14 EST


In derive_key_aes(), tfm is assigned to NULL on line 46, and then
crypto_free_skcipher(tfm) is executed.

crypto_free_skcipher(tfm)
crypto_skcipher_tfm(tfm)
return &tfm->base;

Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur.

To fix this bug, tfm is checked before calling crypto_free_skcipher().

This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
