Subject: [PATCH][next] apparmor: fix error returns checks by making size a ssize_t
Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2018 23:34:22 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180323233422.7856-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

Currently variable size is a unsigned size_t, hence comparisons to
see if it is less than zero (for error checking) will always be
false.  Fix this by making size a ssize_t

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1466080 ("Unsigned compared against 0")

Fixes: 8e51f9087f40 ("apparmor: Add support for attaching profiles via xattr, presence and value")
