[PATCH 5.4 083/240] random: zero buffer after reading entropy from userspace

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 7b5164fb1279bf0251371848e40bae646b59b3a8 upstream.

This buffer may contain entropic data that shouldn't stick around longer
than needed, so zero out the temporary buffer at the end of write_pool().
