Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crypto: sun8i-ce-cipher - fix error handling in sun8i_ce_cipher_prepare()

Fix two DMA cleanup issues on the error path in sun8i_ce_cipher_prepare():

1] If dma_map_sg() fails for areq->dst, the device driver would try to free
DMA memory it has not allocated in the first place. To fix this, on the
"theend_sgs" error path, call dma unmap only if the corresponding dma
map was successful.

2] If the dma_map_single() call for the IV fails, the device driver would
try to free an invalid DMA memory address on the "theend_iv" path:

To fix this, check for !dma_mapping_error() before calling
dma_unmap_single() on the "theend_iv" path.
