Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] s390/crypto: Fix missing scrub of temp buffers with AES ctr and gcm algorithm
Date: Fri,  7 Aug 2026 15:54:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807135440.35888-3-freude@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260807135440.35888-1-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.

In a similar way the function gcm_aes_crypt() hat an error path where
the CPACF param block was not scrubbed. Instead of return early now
these error paths go to end of function where explicit scrubbing is
done.

Fixes: d07f951903fa ("crypto: s390/aes - Fix buffer overread in CTR mode")
