Subject: [PATCH][next] ima: ima_modsig: Fix use-after-free bug in ima_read_modsig
Date: Sun, 11 Aug 2019 18:55:07 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190811235507.GA9587@embeddedor> (raw)

hdr is being freed and then dereferenced by accessing hdr->pkcs7_msg

Fix this by copying the value returned by PTR_ERR(hdr->pkcs7_msg) into
automatic variable err for its safe use after freeing hdr.

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1485813 ("Read from pointer after free")
Fixes: 39b07096364a ("ima: Implement support for module-style appended signatures")
