[PATCH 1/2] tpm: fix a kernel memory leak in tpm-sysfs.c

From: Jarkko Sakkinen
Date: Tue Jun 20 2017 - 05:43:36 EST


While cleaning up sysfs callback that prints EK we discovered a kernel
memory leak. This commit fixes the issue by zeroing the buffer used for
TPM command/response.

The leak happen when we use either tpm_vtpm_proxy, tpm_ibmvtpm or
xen-tpmfront.
