From eaaeae50ea0230be49e4aca5ec48f6978537a242 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2013 00:55:37 +0000 Subject: net: sctp: sctp_auth_key_put: use kzfree instead of kfree [ Upstream commit 586c31f3bf04c290dc0a0de7fc91d20aa9a5ee53 ] For sensitive data like keying material, it is common practice to zero out keys before returning the memory back to the allocator. Thus, use kzfree instead of kfree. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Acked-by: Neil Horman Acked-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S.
