From a6326ba025a4bc025c8c9a15ea2f307936a93843 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2014 18:03:44 +0100 Subject: crypto: sha - replace memset by memzero_explicit Memset on a local variable may be removed when it is called just before the variable goes out of scope. Using memzero_explicit defeats this optimization. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @@ identifier x; type T; @@ { ... when any T x[...]; ... when any when exists - memset + memzero_explicit (x, -0, ...) ... when != x when strict } // This change was suggested by Daniel Borkmann Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu --- arch/x86/crypto/sha512_ssse3_glue.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'arch/x86/crypto/sha512_ssse3_glue.c') diff --git a/arch/x86/crypto/sha512_ssse3_glue.c b/arch/x86/crypto/sha512_ssse3_glue.c index 26a5898a6f26..0b6af26832bf 100644 --- a/arch/x86/crypto/sha512_ssse3_glue.c +++ b/arch/x86/crypto/sha512_ssse3_glue.c @@ -219,7 +219,7 @@ static int sha384_ssse3_final(struct shash_desc *desc, u8 *hash) sha512_ssse3_final(desc, D); memcpy(hash, D, SHA384_DIGEST_SIZE); - memset(D, 0, SHA512_DIGEST_SIZE); + memzero_explicit(D, SHA512_DIGEST_SIZE); return 0; } -- cgit v1.2.3
