memcmp is not consider safe to use with cryptographic secrets:
'Do not use memcmp() to compare security critical data, such as
cryptographic secrets, because the required CPU time depends on the
number of equal bytes.'
While usage of memcmp for ZERO_KEY may not be considered a security
critical data, it can lead to more usage of memcmp with pairing keys
which could introduce more security problems.

Fixes: 33155c4aae52 ("Bluetooth: hci_event: Ignore NULL link key")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
