[PATCH v2] efi: random: zero out secret after use and do not take minimum

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

 



Taking the minimum is wrong, if the bootloader or EFI stub is actually
passing on a bunch of bytes that it expects the kernel to hash itself.
Ideally, a bootloader will hash it for us, but STUB won't do that, so we
should map all the bytes. Also, all those bytes must be zeroed out after
use to preserve forward secrecy.
