[PATCH] shash: fix unaligned calculation with short length

From: Yehuda Sadeh
Date: Thu Mar 26 2009 - 17:29:48 EST


When the total length is shorter than the calculated number of unaligned bytes, the call to shash->update breaks. For example, calling crc32c on unaligned buffer with length of 1 can result in a system crash.
