Subject: [PATCH 4/5] smb: client: Clear sensitive stack data in smb1encrypt.c
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 15:01:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812130152.2861834-5-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260812130152.2861834-1-thuth@redhat.com>

From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>

Make sure to not leak signature data via the stack, clear it
with memzero_explicit() before leaving the function.

To avoid that we have to introduce "goto"-cleanup here, we re-arrange
the code a little bit (and drop the commented cifs_dump_mem debug
code that looks like a leftover from very early days).
