From f99dbfa4b39f90c3ba95169000cc2cdd59413f4e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Giel van Schijndel Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2015 22:37:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] cifs: use memzero_explicit to clear stack buffer When leaving a function use memzero_explicit instead of memset(0) to clear stack allocated buffers. memset(0) may be optimized away. This particular buffer is highly likely to contain sensitive data which we shouldn't leak (it's named 'passwd' after all).
