Using memzero_explicit defeats this optimization. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @@ identifier x; type T; @@ { ... when any T x[...]; ... when any when exists - memset + memzero_explicit (x, -0, ...) ... when != x when strict } // This change was suggested by Daniel Borkmann Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu --- diff --git a/arch/x86/crypto/sha256_ssse3_glue.c b/arch/x86/crypto/sha256_ssse3_glue.c index 4dc100d..8fad72f 100644 --- a/arch/x86/crypto/sha256_ssse3_glue.c +++ b/arch/x86/crypto/sha256_ssse3_glue.c @@ -211,7 +211,7 @@ static int sha224_ssse3_final(struct shash_desc *desc, u8 *hash) sha256_ssse3_final(desc, D); memcpy(hash, D, SHA224_DIGEST_SIZE); - memset(D, 0, SHA256_DIGEST_SIZE); + memzero_explicit(D, SHA256_DIGEST_SIZE); return 0; } diff --git a/arch/x86/crypto/sha512_ssse3_glue.c b/arch/x86/crypto/sha512_ssse3_glue.c index 26a5898..0b6af26 100644 --- a/arch/x86/crypto/sha512_ssse3_glue.c +++ b/arch/x86/crypto/sha512_ssse3_glue.c @@ -219,7 +219,7 @@ static int sha384_ssse3_final(struct shash_desc *desc, u8 *hash) sha512_ssse3_final(desc, D); memcpy(hash, D, SHA384_DIGEST_SIZE); - memset(D, 0, SHA512_DIGEST_SIZE); + memzero_explicit(D, SHA512_DIGEST_SIZE); return 0; }
