The length used for memset is different from the length being copied over.

Down the line we copy the original IV and/or the updated IV in this memory space. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
