[PATCH 2/3] security: keys: trusted: always clear the hmac_sha1_ctx before returning

From: Thomas Huth

Date: Wed Aug 12 2026 - 12:44:19 EST


From: Thomas Huth <thuth@xxxxxxxxxx>

Clear the hmac_sha1_ctx structure via __cleanup(hmac_sha1_zeroize_ctx)
to make sure that the function cannot leak any sensitive data on the
stack in case we return without hmac_sha1_final() here.
