Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: akcipher - default implementation for setting a private key
Changes from v1:
* removed the default implementation from set_pub_key: it is assumed that
an implementation must always have this callback defined as there are
no use case for an algorithm, which doesn't need a public key
Many akcipher implementations (like ECDSA) support only signature
verifications, so they don't have all callbacks defined.
