From a17d5232de7b53d34229de79ec22f4bb04adb7e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Duane Griffin Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2008 20:47:10 +0000 Subject: eCryptfs: check readlink result was not an error before using it The result from readlink is being used to index into the link name buffer without checking whether it is a valid length. If readlink returns an error this will fault or cause memory corruption.
