commit b32a7dc8aef1882fbf983eb354837488cc9d54dc upstream.
In the AEAD interface for AF_ALG, the reference to the "null skcipher"
held by each tfm was being dropped in the wrong place -- when each
af_alg_ctx was freed instead of when the aead_tfm was freed. As
discovered by syzkaller, a specially crafted program could use this to
cause the null skcipher to be freed while it is still in use.
Fix it by dropping the reference in the right place.

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.
