From 68390ccf8b0a3470032f053d50379cfd49fbe952 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lukasz Pawelczyk Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2014 15:31:07 +0100 Subject: smack: fix logic in smack_inode_init_security function In principle if this function was called with "value" == NULL and "len" not NULL it could return different results for the "len" compared to a case where "name" was not NULL. This is a hypothetical case that does not exist in the kernel, but it's a logic bug nonetheless.
