net/tcp-md5: Fix MAC comparison to be constant-time
commit 46d0d6f50dab706637f4c18a470aac20a21900d3 upstream. To prevent timing attacks, MACs need to be compared in constant time. Use the appropriate helper function for this. Fixes: cfb6eeb4c860 ("[TCP]: MD5 Signature Option (RFC2385) support.") Fixes: 658ddaaf6694 ("tcp: md5: RST: getting md5 key from listener") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260302203409.13388-1-ebiggers@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
