[PATCH 4.9 125/264] random: zero buffer after reading entropy from userspace

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

 



From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 7b5164fb1279bf0251371848e40bae646b59b3a8 upstream.

This buffer may contain entropic data that shouldn't stick around longer
than needed, so zero out the temporary buffer at the end of write_pool().
