AFAIK, this is a real vulnerability that needs to be addressed.
Judging by Ted's inquiry about my siphash testing suite, I assume he's
probably tinkering around with it as we speak. :)
Meanwhile I've separated things into several trees:
1. chacha20 rng, already submitted:
https://git.zx2c4.com/linux-dev/log/?h=random-next
2. md5 cleanup, not yet submitted:
https://git.zx2c4.com/linux-dev/log/?h=md5-cleanup
3. md4 cleanup, already submitted:
https://git.zx2c4.com/linux-dev/log/?h=ext4-next-md4-cleanup
4. siphash and networking, not yet submitted as a x/4 series:
https://git.zx2c4.com/linux-dev/log/?h=net-next-siphash
I'll submit (4) in a couple of days, waiting for any comments on the
existing patch-set.
