[PATCH v2] crypto: inside-secure - Zeroize temporary arrays on stack with sensitive data

Thomas Huth <[email protected]>
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-crypto,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
key_tmp[] in safexcel_xcbcmac_setkey() and consts[] / _const[] in
safexcel_cmac_setkey() contain crypto key material that should not
get exposed to the outside once the function is done. Scrub the
arrays with memzero_explicit() to avoid that the data could leak
via the stack.
