Subject[PATCH 054/118] net: sctp: sctp_auth_key_put: use kzfree instead of kfree
Date
3.5.7.12 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>

commit 586c31f3bf04c290dc0a0de7fc91d20aa9a5ee53 upstream.

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.
