[PATCH] crypto: testmgr - add guard to dst buffer for ahash_export

From: Jan Stancek
Date: Wed Sep 28 2016 - 10:38:54 EST


Add a guard to 'state' buffer and warn if its consistency after
call to crypto_ahash_export() changes, so that any write that
goes beyond advertised statesize (and thus causing potential
memory corruption [1]) is more visible.
