Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] s390/crypto: Explicit scrub temp buffer in AES ctr mode algorithm
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 10:49:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806084950.17679-3-freude@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260806084950.17679-1-freude@linux.ibm.com>
In function ctr_aes_crypt() there is a buffer used to process
remaining bytes < AES_BLOCK_SIZE. This buffer was not scrubbed and
thus could lead to expose of unwanted data.
When the buffer is used explicitly scrub it at the end of the code
block to avoid exposure of maybe sensitive data.
Fixes: d07f951903fa ("crypto: s390/aes - Fix buffer overread in CTR mode")
