[ 55/76] fs: handle failed audit_log_start properly
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Oct 18 2012 - 22:56:39 EST
3.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit d1c7d97ad58836affde6e39980b96527510b572e upstream.
audit_log_start() may return NULL, this is unchecked by the caller in
audit_log_link_denied() and could cause a NULL ptr deref.
Introduced by commit a51d9eaa ("fs: add link restriction audit reporting").
