From b305f7ed0f4f494ad6f3ef5667501535d5a8fa31 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yi Wang Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2018 10:26:19 +0800 Subject: audit: fix potential null dereference 'context->module.name' The variable 'context->module.name' may be null pointer when kmalloc return null, so it's better to check it before using to avoid null dereference. Another one more thing this patch does is using kstrdup instead of (kmalloc + strcpy), and signal a lost record via audit_log_lost.
