[PATCH 10/15] contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: use secure memory for reading passwords

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



gnome-keyring provides functions to allocate non-pageable memory (if
possible).  Let's use them to allocate memory that may be used to hold
secure data read from the keyring.
