Subject: KEYS: trusted_tpm1: Compare HMAC values in constant time
X-Git-Tag: v5.10.246~17

KEYS: trusted_tpm1: Compare HMAC values in constant time

[ Upstream commit eed0e3d305530066b4fc5370107cff8ef1a0d229 ]

To prevent timing attacks, HMAC value comparison needs to be constant
time.  Replace the memcmp() with the correct function, crypto_memneq().

[For the Fixes commit I used the commit that introduced the memcmp().
It predates the introduction of crypto_memneq(), but it was still a bug
at the time even though a helper function didn't exist yet.]

Fixes: d00a1c72f7f4 ("keys: add new trusted key-type")
