Subject: X.509: Fix double free in x509_cert_parse() [ver #3]
From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2b95fda2c4fcb6d6625963f889247538f247fce0 upstream.
We shouldn't free cert->pub->key in x509_cert_parse() because
x509_free_certificate() also does this:
BUG: Double free or freeing an invalid pointer
