From e6c0244ad38a358598392638688b1dcac7878f66 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephan Mueller Date: Sun, 17 Aug 2014 17:39:31 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] crypto: drbg - use kmalloc instead of kzalloc for V and C When allocating V, C, the zeroization is only needed when allocating a new instance of the DRBG, i.e. when performing an initial seeding. For all other allocations, the memcpy implemented in drbg_copy_drbg ensures that the memory is filled with the correct information.
