Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] s390/crypto: Explicit scrub temp buffer in PAES ctr mode algorithm
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 17:54:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805155458.14925-3-freude@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805155458.14925-1-freude@linux.ibm.com>
In function ctr_paes_do_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.
On exit of the function unconditionally scrub this buffer to avoid
exposure of maybe sensitive data.
Fixes: 6cd87cb5ef6c ("s390/crypto: Rework protected key AES for true asynch support")
