From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>
This patch series introduces more thorough sanitization of keys managed by the kernel key retention service. This helps keep sensitive key material from sticking around in the slab caches after keys are released.
This series covers the syscall interface and several of the common key types. It doesn't cover some of the less commonly used key types. Also, these changes are of course limited to the keyrings mechanism itself and don't remove the responsibility for keyrings users to securely handle any other sensitive data they may copy or generate. Regardless, there's no reason not to make the keyrings API follow best practices.
Eric Biggers (5): KEYS: sanitize add_key() and keyctl() key payloads KEYS: user_defined: sanitize key payloads KEYS: encrypted: sanitize all key material KEYS: trusted: sanitize all key material KEYS: sanitize key structs before freeing
