Subject: [PATCH 3.16 261/306] mpi: Fix NULL ptr dereference in mpi_powm()
 [ver #3]

3.16.40-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@...tuozzo.com>

commit f5527fffff3f002b0a6b376163613b82f69de073 upstream.

This fixes CVE-2016-8650.

If mpi_powm() is given a zero exponent, it wants to immediately return
either 1 or 0, depending on the modulus.  However, if the result was
initalised with zero limb space, no limbs space is allocated and a
NULL-pointer exception ensues.

Fix this by allocating a minimal amount of limb space for the result when
the 0-exponent case when the result is 1 and not touching the limb space
when the result is 0.

This affects the use of RSA keys and X.509 certificates that carry them.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
