    lib/mpi: mpi_write_sgl(): fix skipping of leading zero limbs · f2d1362f
    Nicolai Stange authored
    Currently, if the number of leading zeros is greater than fits into a
    complete limb, mpi_write_sgl() skips them by iterating over them limb-wise.
    
    However, it fails to adjust its internal leading zeros tracking variable,
    lzeros, accordingly: it does a
    
      p -= sizeof(alimb);
      continue;
    
    which should really have been a
    
      lzeros -= sizeof(alimb);
      continue;
    
    Since lzeros never decreases if its initial value >= sizeof(alimb), nothing
    gets copied by mpi_write_sgl() in that case.
    
    Instead of skipping the high order zero limbs within the loop as shown
    above, fix the issue by adjusting the copying loop's bounds.
