[PATCH] ecryptfs: validate auth tok payload size

From: Adriano Cordova

Date: Thu Oct 01 2026 - 17:43:29 EST


Validate that a key payload is large enough to hold a struct
ecryptfs_auth_tok, and that the password token's
session_key_encryption_key_bytes fits within
session_key_encryption_key[], before the payload is dereferenced.
