[PATCH 2/2] autofs4 - fix string validation check order

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In function validate_dev_ioctl() we check that the string we've
been sent is a valid path. The function that does this check
assumes the string is NULL terminated but our NULL termination
check isn't done until after this call. This patch changes the
order of the check.
