Subject: [PATCH v2 2/6] smb: clear the aes_cmac_key and aes_cmac_ctx when done
Date: Fri,  7 Aug 2026 14:58:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807125845.1477067-3-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260807125845.1477067-1-thuth@redhat.com>

From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>

Clear the local crypto-related structures via __cleanup() functions
when we're done with them to avoid that sensitive data could leak on
the stack.

Note: cmac_ctx in ksmbd_sign_smb3_pdu() gets cleared in aes_cmac_final()
already, so this does not need a __cleanup() marker.
