In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:[EOL][EOL]crypto: af_alg - Set merge to zero early in af_alg_sendmsg[EOL][EOL]If an error causes af_alg_sendmsg to abort, ctx->merge may contain[EOL]a garbage value from the previous loop. This may then trigger a[EOL]crash on the next entry into af_alg_sendmsg when it attempts to do[EOL]a merge that can't be done.[EOL][EOL]Fix this by setting ctx->merge to zero near the start of the loop.
