The scatterlist API sg_next iterator\n does not recursively resolve consecutive chain links.\n\nmeaning this is illegal input to crypto.\n\nThe wrapping link is unnecessary if end = 0. end is the entry after\nthe last one used so end = 0 means there's nothing pushed after\nthe wrap:\n\n end start i\n v v v\n [ ]...[ ][ d ][ d ][ d ][ d ][rsv for wrap]\n\nSkip the wrapping in this case.\n\nTLS 1.3 can use the \"wrapping slot\" for it's chaining if end = 0.\nThis avoids the chain-after-chain.\n\nMove the wrap chaining before marking END and chaining off content\ntype, that feels like more logical ordering to me, but should not\nmatter from functional perspective." } ], "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H",
