[PATCH][next] KVM: SVM: nested: fix free of uninitialized pointers save and ctl

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

 



From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently the error exit path to outt_set_gif will kfree on uninitialized
pointers save and ctl.  Fix this by ensuring these pointers are
inintialized to NULL to avoid garbage pointer freeing.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized pointer read")
Fixes: 6ccbd29ade0d ("KVM: SVM: nested: Don't allocate VMCB structures on stack")
