Subject: [PATCH 40/46] libext2fs: fix unexpected NULL variable
Content-Type: text/plain
The ext2fs_check_mount_point() function can be called with mtpt being
NULL as for example from ext2fs_check_if_mounted(). However in the
is_swap_device condition we use the mtpt in strncpy without checking
whether it is non-null first.
This should not be a problem on linux since the previous attempt to open
the device exclusively would have prevented us from ever reaching the
problematic strncpy. However it's still a bug and can cause problems on
other systems, fix it by conditioning strncpy on mtpt not being null.
