From 77ee21aca4d655f1e374e7eb8686c4fcd2f23dfe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Biggers Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2017 14:48:57 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] KEYS: sanitize add_key() and keyctl() key payloads Before returning from add_key() or one of the keyctl() commands that takes in a key payload, zero the temporary buffer that was allocated to hold the key payload copied from userspace. This may contain sensitive key material that should not be kept around in the slab caches.
