Description

 CVE-2026-15811 (LOW): encryption key exposure in memory after cryptographic configuration changes. Wipe cryptographic keys with explicit_bzero() before freeing to prevent exposure through memory disclosure vulnerabilities. (Resolves rhbz#2500850)

 Validate source address against claimed link_id and enable ACL by default. (Resolves rhbz#2500852)
