Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ieee1275: ofdisk dangling pointer
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2015 17:43:36 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1671671c705298f7d6e8c7e79805564b3b662548.1445895272.git.eric.snowberg@oracle.com> (raw)

Within commit: 87ec3b7fa9061f470616ed927fc140e995831c00 -
"Don't continue to query block-size if disk doesn't have it.”
a dangling pointer was introduced.

Fix dangling pointer issue in grub_ofdisk_open where devpath is freed
and then used again within the call to grub_ofdisk_get_block_size. This
solves many memory corruption issues we were seeing.
