[PATCH v3] vfio: Clear the caps->buf to NULL after free

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

 



On buffer resize failure, vfio_info_cap_add() will free the buffer,
report zero for the size, and return -ENOMEM.  As additional
hardening, also clear the buffer pointer to prevent any chance of a
double free.

v1 -> v2:
        - Remove incorrect double free report in commit message.
v2 -> v3:
