From 0a6b29230ec336189bab32498df3f06c8a6944d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Thu, 2 Aug 2018 11:38:23 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] apparmor: fix an error code in __aa_create_ns() We should return error pointers in this function. Returning NULL results in a NULL dereference in the caller.
