Subject: [PATCH] crypto: dh - Fix double free of ctx->p

When setting the secret with the software Diffie-Hellman implementation, if allocating 'g' failed (e.g. if it was longer than MAX_EXTERN_MPI_BITS), then 'p' was freed twice: once immediately, and once later when the crypto_kpp tfm was destroyed.

Fix it by using dh_free_ctx() (renamed to dh_clear_ctx()) in the error paths, as that correctly sets the pointers to NULL.

Hmm, looks like it needs commit ee34e2644a78 ("crypto: dh - fix memleak in setkey"). Can you include that in 4.9 as well?

Eric

Thanks, that worked!
