[U-Boot] [PATCH] env: Migrate CONFIG_ENV_AES to Kconfig and deprecate

Tom Rini trini at konsulko.com
Fri Sep 8 17:13:59 UTC 2017


The underlying implementation for ENV_AES has security complications and
is not recommended for use.  Please see CVE-2017-3225 and CVE-2017-3226
for more details.  Mark this as deprecated now and delete this in the
medium term if no one comes forward to re-work the support.
