[PATCH 3/4] drivers/hid: Eliminate use after free

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

 



From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

The skip label frees resp, which has not been allocated at the point of
this goto and then does a break, based on the fact that err is non-zero.
This is replaced by a break directly.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@free@
expression E;
position p;
@@
kfree@p(E)

@@
expression free.E, subE<=free.E, E1;
position free.p;
@@

  kfree@p(E)
  ...
(
  subE = E1
|
* E
)
// </smpl>
