The branch stable/13 has been updated by kevans: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=98e1ee23857cf858a66dff23b39f80ede00d2311 commit 98e1ee23857cf858a66dff23b39f80ede00d2311 Author: Kyle Evans <kevans@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2024-07-15 20:17:47 +0000 Commit: Kyle Evans <kevans@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2024-07-21 05:25:12 +0000 kern: zero out stack buffer after copying out random bits The kern.arandom sysctl handler uses an intermediate buffer on the stack to hold random data that it subsequently copies out to the sysctl request. Err on the side of caution and zero out the stack buffer after we're done with it to avoid a potential entropy leak later on.
