From a41d80acfa2764e9b1ce49aa303a263e609d91f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Tue, 29 May 2018 16:11:28 +0300 Subject: EVM: prevent array underflow in evm_write_xattrs() If the user sets xattr->name[0] to NUL then we would read one character before the start of the array. This bug seems harmless as far as I can see but perhaps it would trigger a warning in KASAN.
