commit b20209c91e23a9bbad9cac2f80bc16b3c259e10e upstream.
The aesni_gcm_enc/dec functions can access memory before the start of
the data buffer if the length of the data buffer is less than 16 bytes.
This is because they perform the read via a single 16-byte load. 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
partial block byte-by-byte and optionally an via 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.
