This probably should be grouped with my series "crypto: dh - input validation fixes", as this is also a fix for Diffie-Hellman. I was actually expecting Herbert Xu to take these patches, as Diffie-Hellman is now part of the crypto API (crypto/dh.c); none of the patches actually touch security/keys/.

Fine by me.

If you'd like to maintain the Diffie-Hellman implementation(s) you should get yourself added to MAINTAINERS for the relevant files.

It touches the MPI lib, though, so it also potentially affects RSA and stuff, which is why I introduced it to the kernel originally.
