Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crypto: ccp - Treat zero-length cert chain as query for blob lengths

When handling a PDH export, treat a zero-length userspace cert chain buffer
as a request to query the length of the relevant blobs. Failure to account
for the zero-length buffer trips a BUG_ON() when running with
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y due to trying to get the physical address of the
ZERO_SIZE_PTR (returned by kzalloc() on the bogus allocation).

Thankfully, the bug is benign outside of CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y as getting
the physical address is just arithmetic, and the PSP errors out before
trying to write to the garbage address (which it must, otherwise querying
the blob lengths would clobber memory at pfn=0).
