[patch 002/127] kcov: fix potential use-after-free in kcov_remote_start

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

 



From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: kcov: fix potential use-after-free in kcov_remote_start

If vmalloc() fails in kcov_remote_start() we'll access remote->kcov
without holding kcov_remote_lock, so remote might potentially be freed at
that point.  Cache kcov pointer in a local variable.
