[PATCH] fs: prevent use after free in auditing when symlink following was denied

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

 



Commit "fs: add link restriction audit reporting" has added auditing of failed
attempts to follow symlinks. Unfortunately, the auditing was being done after
the struct path structure was released earlier.
