Title
crypto: tegra - fix rctx->cryptlen calculation in tegra_gcm_do_one_req()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: tegra - fix rctx->cryptlen calculation in tegra_gcm_do_one_req() Perform rctx->cryptlen calculation in tegra_gcm_do_one_req() the same way it is done in tegra_ccm_crypt_init(). The current formulae may lead to a crash if a caller does not call tegra_gcm_setauthsize() and so ctx->authsize remains zero. Then a decrypt operation with incorrect rctx->cryptlen will lead to a write beyound rctx->dst_sg buffer. As a follow-up cleanup delete struct tegra_aead_ctx->authsize field since it appears to be completely unused. Also simplify tegra_ccm_setauthsize() and tegra_gcm_setauthsize() functions respectively.
