From 5abf1b281d26ad893d24ac8c03099ae97f88c7a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ricardo Robaina Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 11:14:24 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] audit: drop BUG_ON() from audit_signal_info_syscall() The BUG_ON(axp->pid_count >= AUDIT_AUX_PIDS) check in audit_signal_info_syscall() will panic the kernel if the signal target pid array overflows, which is too severe for this situation. Replace it with a WARN_ON_ONCE() and return of -EINVAL, instead.
