The Salsa20 encryption algorithm in the Linux kernel before 4.14.8 does not
correctly handle zero-length inputs, allowing a local attacker able to use
the AF_ALG-based skcipher interface (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER) to
cause a denial of service (uninitialized-memory free and kernel crash) or
have unspecified other impact by executing a crafted sequence of system
calls that use the blkcipher_walk API. Both the generic implementation
(crypto/salsa20_generic.c) and x86 implementation
(arch/x86/crypto/salsa20_glue.c) of Salsa20 were vulnerable.
