Description |
The Linux kernel contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is triggered because 'dm-crypt' does not zero out the 'struct crypt_config' structure before it is freed, potentially leaking cryptographic key information, resulting in a loss of confidentiality.
