[ulogd2 PATCH v4 29/32] output: JSON: fix possible leak in error-handling.

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

 



The `realloc` extending the buffer containing the JSON to allow us to
insert a final new-line may fail.  Therefore, we need to assign the
return-value to a temporary variable or we will not able to free the
existing buffer on error.

Use the correct type for `buflen`.
