Subject: [PATCH 2/5] smb: client: Clear sensitive stack and heap data in smb2ops.c
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 15:01:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812130152.2861834-3-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260812130152.2861834-1-thuth@redhat.com>
From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>
Make sure to not leak key-related data via the heap or the stack
by using kfree_sensitive() or memzero_explicit() here.
