Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-07-30 08:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 07:49
Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: aead,cipher - zeroize key buffer after use
I.G 9.7.B for FIPS 140-3 specifies that variables temporarily holding
cryptographic information should be zeroized once they are no longer
needed. Accomplish this by using kfree_sensitive for buffers that
previously held the private key.
