[PATCH 3/3] lzma/gzip: Fix potential oops when input data is truncated

From: Phillip Lougher
Date: Tue Jun 23 2009 - 02:04:03 EST


If the lzma/gzip decompressors are called with insufficient input
data (len > 0 & fill = NULL), they will attempt to call the fill
function to obtain more data, leading to a kernel oops.
