From: Andreas Gruenbacher Date: Mon, 9 May 2016 11:28:49 +0000 (+0200) Subject: xattr: Fail with -EINVAL for NULL attribute names X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=aaf431b4f92152d46ab54079692633aa422262b1;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git xattr: Fail with -EINVAL for NULL attribute names Commit 98e9cb57 improved the xattr name checks in xattr_resolve_name but didn't update the NULL attribute name check appropriately, so NULL attribute names lead to NULL pointer dereferences. Turn that into -EINVAL results instead.
