Description
==========
A security issue was found in tpm2-tools before version 5.1.1.
tpm2_import used a fixed AES key for the inner wrapper, potentially

portion and reveal the key being imported.

Impact

A local attacker could disclose the secret portion of a key while it is
being imported into the TPM.
