From: Eric Biggers ebiggers@google.com
commit ccd9888f14a8019c0bbdeeae758aba1f58693712 upstream.
The "qat-dh" DH implementation assumes that 'key' and 'g' can be copied into a buffer with size 'p_size'. However it was never checked that that was actually the case, which most likely allowed users to cause a buffer underflow via KEYCTL_DH_COMPUTE.
Fix this by updating crypto_dh_decode_key() to verify this precondition for all DH implementations.
