From 64ee4808a786caade50362d5057f65314fdf2f36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Halcrow Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2007 01:47:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] eCryptfs: ecryptfs_setattr() bugfix There is another bug recently introduced into the ecryptfs_setattr() function in 2.6.22. eCryptfs will attempt to treat special files like regular eCryptfs files on chmod, chown, and so forth. This leads to a NULL pointer dereference. This patch validates that the file is a regular file before proceeding with operations related to the inode's crypt_stat. Thanks to Ryusuke Konishi for finding this bug and suggesting the fix. Signed-off-by: Michael Halcrow Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Reading git-format-patch failed
