3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@xxxxxxxxx> commit b97b3d9fb57860a60592859e332de7759fd54c2e upstream. If we are not echoing the data to userspace or the console is in icanon mode, then perhaps it is a "secret" so we should wipe it once we are done with it. This mirrors the logic that the audit code has.
