From 538c9eb8b3fd33d3a0722b2c04ec4f574eaa6e9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2014 13:39:56 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: clear wext keys when freeing and removing them When freeing the keys stored for wireless extensions, clear the memory to avoid having the key material stick around in memory "forever". Similarly, when userspace overwrites a key, actually clear it instead of just setting the key length to zero.
