Subject: [PATCH 3/6] net/tcp-ao: clear the aes_cmac_key when done
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 16:36:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805143611.818559-4-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805143611.818559-1-thuth@redhat.com>
From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>
Clear the local aes_cmac_key structure via __cleanup() function
when we're done with it to avoid that sensitive data could leak on
the stack.
