[PATCH] virNWFilterDefParseXML: avoid leak on error paths

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In this function,

    static virNWFilterDefPtr
    virNWFilterDefParseXML(xmlXPathContextPtr ctxt) {

we allocate space for the result we expect to return:

     if (VIR_ALLOC(ret) < 0) {
         virReportOOMError();
         return NULL;
     }

and later, ...

                  if (VIR_REALLOC_N(ret->filterEntries, ret->nentries+1) < 0) {
                 VIR_FREE(entry);
                 virReportOOMError();
                 goto cleanup;
             }

Hence, the lack of anything to free "ret" when this function returns
NULL constitutes a leak.

Here's the patch:

via cleanup.
