The RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 sign operation currently only checks that the digest length is less than "key_size - hash_prefix->size - 11". The verify operation merely checks that it's more than zero. Actually the precise digest length is known because the hash algorithm is specified upon instance creation and the digest length is encoded into the final byte of the hash algorithm's Full Hash Prefix. So check for the exact digest length rather than solely relying on imprecise maximum/minimum checks. Keep the maximum length check for the sign operation as a safety net, but drop the now unnecessary minimum check for the verify operation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
