Description Miloslav Trmač 2008-09-16 11:20:47 UTC

The patch posted originally for TTY input auditing (#244135) does not handle NUL characters (in TTY input and in AUDIT_USER_TTY records sent from user-space) correctly, potentially allowing the user to bypass TTY auditing.  This tracks an additional patch to fix this.
