Subject: [PATCH RESEND] apparmor: Replace memcpy + NUL termination with kmemdup_nul in do_setattr
Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2026 23:41:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309224150.84575-3-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
Use kmemdup_nul() to copy 'value' instead of using memcpy() followed by
a manual NUL termination. No functional changes.
