[PATCH 1/4] cryoto: drbg - clear all temporary memory

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

 



The buffer uses for temporary data must be cleared entirely. In AES192
the used buffer is drbg_statelen(drbg) + drbg_blocklen(drbg) as
documented in the comment above drbg_ctr_df.

This patch ensures that the temp buffer is completely wiped.
