Subject: [PATCH v4 04/10] crypto: padlock-aes - clear the crypto_aes_ctx when done
Date: Fri,  7 Aug 2026 09:06:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807070651.228713-5-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260807070651.228713-1-thuth@redhat.com>

From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>

Clear the crypto_aes_ctx structure via __cleanup(aes_zeroize_ctx)
when we're done with it to avoid that key data could leak on the
stack.

And since __cleanup() (and __free()) should not be mixed with
"gotos" in the same function, turn the goto statement here
into a proper block of the related if-statement.
