Subject: [PATCH -mm] reiser4: remove lzo compression security hole
Date: Thu, 24 May 2007 23:54:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1180047240.12821.48.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
Switch reiser4 to use lzo1x_decompress_safe instead of lzo1x_decompress
as otherwise it presents a security hole (lzo1x_decompress doesn't
perform bounds checking on the decompressed data).
