Comment (by asn):

 Caused by #27549 changes.

 The issue is:
 {{{
   uint8_t *keystream = NULL;
 ...
   memwipe(keystream, 0, sizeof(keystream));
 }}}
 that is, we use the sizeof the pointer to memwipe, instead of the actual
 length of the `keystream` array.

 The patch would have been trivial but the issue is that the length of the
 keystream array
 is hidden inside `build_descriptor_cookie_keys()`. Should we break the
 layering and also compute the length out of that function? Or should we
 make a new function that wipes the cookie key and is aware of the length?
 Or what?
