Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
crypto: starfive - Correctly handle return of sg_nents_for_len<br />
<br />
The return value of sg_nents_for_len was assigned to an unsigned long<br />
in starfive_hash_digest, causing negative error codes to be converted<br />
to large positive integers.<br />
<br />
Add error checking for sg_nents_for_len and return immediately on<br />
failure to prevent potential buffer overflows.
