[PATCH v2 ima-evm-utils] evmctl: fix memory leak in get_password

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

 



The variable "password" is not freed nor returned in case get_password()
succeeds. Return it instead of the intermediary variable "pwd". Issue found
by Coverity scan tool.

src/evmctl.c:2565: leaked_storage: Variable "password" going out of scope
    leaks the storage it points to.
