From: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ea956d8be91edc702a98b7fe1f9463e7ca8c42ab ] Empty executable arguments were being skipped when printing out the list of arguments in an EXECVE record, making it appear they were somehow lost. Include empty arguments as an itemized empty string. Reproducer: autrace /bin/ls "" "/etc" ausearch --start recent -m execve -i | grep EXECVE type=EXECVE msg=audit(10/03/2018 13:04:03.208:1391) : argc=3 a0=/bin/ls a2=/etc With fix: type=EXECVE msg=audit(10/03/2018 21:51:38.290:194) : argc=3 a0=/bin/ls a1= a2=/etc type=EXECVE msg=audit(1538617898.290:194): argc=3 a0="/bin/ls" a1="" a2="/etc" Passes audit-testsuite.
