Subject: SELinux: possible NULL deref in context_struct_to_string
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bb7081ab93582fd2557160549854200a5fc7b42a;p=linux-beck.git

SELinux: possible NULL deref in context_struct_to_string

It's possible that the caller passed a NULL for scontext.  However if this
is a defered mapping we might still attempt to call *scontext=kstrdup().
This is bad.  Instead just return the len.
