Code:  static void *skcipher_bind(const char *name, u32 type, u32 mask)
 {
	return crypto_alloc_skcipher(name, type, mask);
 }

Vulnerability Type: DoS 
CWE ID: CWE-476
Summary: crypto/algif_skcipher.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4.2 does not verify that a setkey operation has been performed on an AF_ALG socket before an accept system call is processed, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted application that does not supply a key, related to the lrw_crypt function in crypto/lrw.c.
Commit Message: crypto: algif_skcipher - Require setkey before accept(2)

Some cipher implementations will crash if you try to use them
without calling setkey first.  This patch adds a check so that
the accept(2) call will fail with -ENOKEY if setkey hasn't been
done on the socket yet.
