In sepol_ibendport_key_create(), if sepol_ibendport_alloc_ibdev_name() fails to allocate tmp_key->ibdev_name, sepol_ibendport_key_free() is called to free the memory associated with tmp_key, which results in free() being called on uninitialized tmp_key->ibdev_name. This issue is reported by clang's static analyzer with the following message: ibendport_record.c:115:2: warning: 1st function call argument is an uninitialized value free(key->ibdev_name); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Signed-off-by: Nicolas Iooss <nicolas.iooss@xxxxxxx> --- libsepol/src/ibendport_record.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/libsepol/src/ibendport_record.c b/libsepol/src/ibendport_record.c index 912aeb536fd9..8285a9d6ffcf 100644 --- a/libsepol/src/ibendport_record.c +++ b/libsepol/src/ibendport_record.c @@ -62,8 +62,10 @@ int sepol_ibendport_key_create(sepol_handle_t *handle, goto omem; } - if (sepol_ibendport_alloc_ibdev_name(handle, &tmp_key->ibdev_name) < 0) + if (sepol_ibendport_alloc_ibdev_name(handle, &tmp_key->ibdev_name) < 0) { + tmp_key->ibdev_name = NULL; goto err; + } strncpy(tmp_key->ibdev_name, ibdev_name, IB_DEVICE_NAME_MAX); tmp_key->port = port; -- 2.16.0
