[SECURITY PATCH 041/117] libgcrypt/mpi: Fix possible unintended sign ext


From: Daniel Kiper
Subject: [SECURITY PATCH 041/117] libgcrypt/mpi: Fix possible unintended sign extension
Date: Tue, 2 Mar 2021 19:00:48 +0100

From: Darren Kenny <darren.kenny@oracle.com>

The array of unsigned char gets promoted to a signed 32-bit int before
it is finally promoted to a size_t. There is the possibility that this
may result in the signed-bit being set for the intermediate signed
32-bit int. We should ensure that the promotion is to the correct type
before we bitwise-OR the values.

Fixes: CID 96697
