Subject: [PATCH v2 4/6] Bluetooth: SMP: clear the aes_cmac_key when done
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 14:58:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807125845.1477067-5-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260807125845.1477067-1-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.
While we're at it, also clear the tmp[] array here that is populated
with a raw version of the original key and thus would leak the same
information via the stack otherwise.
