[PATCH] crypto: zynqmp-sha - fix NULL pointer dereference in init_tfm

Tue Sep 8 00:53:40 PDT 2026


zynqmp_sha_init_tfm() checks crypto_shash_statesize(tfm_ctx->fbk_tfm)
before assigning the fallback transform to it, which dereferences a NULL
pointer since the transform context is zero-initialized. Use the local
fallback_tfm pointer for the size check instead.
