From 980dfb0db340b95094732d78b55311f2c539c1af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: zhangxiliang Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2008 19:15:47 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Fix the kernel panic of audit_filter_task when key field is set When calling audit_filter_task(), it calls audit_filter_rules() with audit_context is NULL. If the key field is set, the result in audit_filter_rules() will be set to 1 and ctx->filterkey will be set to key. But the ctx is NULL in this condition, so kernel will panic.
