[PATCH 2/2] evm: check xattr value length in evm_inode_setxattr()

From: Dmitry Kasatkin
Date: Thu Oct 23 2014 - 09:49:44 EST


evm_inode_setxattr() can be called with no value. Function does not
check the length so that following command can be used to produce
kernel oops: setfattr -n security.evm FOO. This patch fixes it.
