Subject: [PATCH 3/5] smb: client: Clear sensitive stack data in cifsencrypt.c
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 15:01:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812130152.2861834-4-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260812130152.2861834-1-thuth@redhat.com>

From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>

Make sure to not leak hash data via the stack, clear it
with memzero_explicit() before leaving the function.
