From: Tetsuo Handa <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 15:15:16 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] commoncap: Handle memory allocation failure. syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference at xattr_getsecurity() [1], for cap_inode_getsecurity() is returning sizeof(struct vfs_cap_data) when memory allocation failed. Return -ENOMEM if memory allocation failed.
