Subject: [PATCH RESEND] audit: fix signedness bug in audit_log_execve_info()
Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2011 18:39:41 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1324424381-7577-1-git-send-email-xi.wang@gmail.com> (raw)
In the loop, a size_t "len" is used to hold the return value of
audit_log_single_execve_arg(), which returns -1 on error. In that
case the error handling (len <= 0) will be bypassed since "len" is
unsigned, and the loop continues with (p += len) being wrapped.
Change the type of "len" to signed int to fix the error handling.
size_t len;
...
for (...) {
len = audit_log_single_execve_arg(...);
if (len <= 0)
break;
p += len;
}
