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

Published Aug 28, 2026

Description

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).
