Subject: [PATCH 2/2] audit: Handle embedded NUL in TTY input auditing
Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2008 00:29:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1221085773.2705.25.camel@amilo> (raw)
From: Miloslav Trmac <mitr@redhat.com>
Data read from a TTY can contain an embedded NUL byte (e.g. after
pressing Ctrl-2, or sent to a PTY). After the previous patch, the data
would be logged only up to the first NUL.
This patch modifies the AUDIT_TTY record to always use the hexadecimal
format, which does not terminate at the first NUL byte. The vast
majority of recorded TTY input data will contain either ' ' or '\n', so
the hexadecimal format would have been used anyway.
