The aesni_gcm_enc/dec functions can access memory after the end of
the AAD buffer if the AAD length is not a multiple of 4 bytes.
It didn't matter with rfc4106-gcm-aesni as in that case the AAD was
always followed by the 8 byte IV, but that is no longer the case with
generic-gcm-aesni. This can potentially result in accessing a page that
is not mapped and thus causing the machine to crash. This patch fixes
that by reading the last <16 byte block of the AAD byte-by-byte and
optionally via an 8-byte load if the block was at least 8 bytes.
Fixes: 0487ccac ("crypto: aesni - make non-AVX AES-GCM work with any aadlen")

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
