Subject: do_coredump(): check return from argv_split()
X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~16261
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=350eaf791bebccb9ad5999351f3e328319545f03;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git

do_coredump(): check return from argv_split()

do_coredump() accesses helper_argv[0] without checking helper_argv !=
NULL.  This can happen if page allocation failed.
