[PATCH] crypto: drbg - set freed buffers to NULL

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

 



Sorry, this time with the proper subject line.

---8<---

During freeing of the internal buffers used by the DRBG, set the pointer
to NULL. It is possible that the context with the freed buffers is
reused. In case of an error during initialization where the pointers
do not yet point to allocated memory, the NULL value prevents a double
free.
