From 11a7ac23a2d7464a74ceb7b97dbae4d5a0208576 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2008 04:22:09 -0800 Subject: uml: improved error handling while locating temp dir * arch/um/os-Linux/mem.c (make_tempfile): Don't deref NULL upon failed malloc. * arch/um/os-Linux/mem.c (make_tempfile): Handle NULL tempdir. Don't let a long tempdir (e.g., via TMPDIR) provoke heap corruption.
