From 5afb8a3f96573f7ea018abb768f5b6ebe1a6c1a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xi Wang Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2011 18:39:41 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] audit: fix signedness bug in audit_log_execve_info() 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; } Signed-off-by: Xi Wang Signed-off-by: Eric Paris --- kernel/auditsc.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/auditsc.c b/kernel/auditsc.c index 593237e3654d..86584ecb1039 100644 --- a/kernel/auditsc.c +++ b/kernel/auditsc.c @@ -1362,8 +1362,8 @@ static void audit_log_execve_info(struct audit_context *context, struct audit_buffer **ab, struct audit_aux_data_execve *axi) { - int i; - size_t len, len_sent = 0; + int i, len; + size_t len_sent = 0; const char __user *p; char *buf; -- 2.20.1
