[PATCH] selinux: Fix an uninitialized variable bug

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

 



We removed this initialization as a cleanup but it is probably required.

The concern is that "nel" can be zero.  I'm not an expert on SELinux
code but I think it looks possible to write an SELinux policy which
triggers this bug.  GCC doesn't catch this, but my static checker does.

Fixes: 9c312e79d6af ("selinux: Delete an unnecessary variable initialisation in range_read()")
