[PATCH 1/4] media: mediatek: vcodec: fix potential double free

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

 



The "lat_buf->private_data" needs to be set to NULL to prevent a
double free.  How this would happen is if vdec_msg_queue_init() failed
twice in a row and on the second time it failed earlier than on the
first time.

The vdec_msg_queue_init() function has a loop which does:
	for (i = 0; i < NUM_BUFFER_COUNT; i++) {

Each iteration initializes one element in the msg_queue->lat_buf[] array
and then the clean up function vdec_msg_queue_deinit() frees each
element of the msg_queue->lat_buf[] array.  This clean up code relies
on the assumption that every element is either initialized or zeroed.
Leaving a freed pointer which is non-zero breaks the assumption.
