Subject: [PATCH] crypto: asym_tpm: correct zero out potential secrets
Date: Fri, 4 Dec 2020 09:01:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <X8ns4AfwjKudpyfe@kroah.com> (raw)
The function derive_pub_key() should be calling memzero_explicit()
instead of memset() in case the complier decides to optimize away the
call to memset() because it "knows" no one is going to touch the memory
anymore.
