Subject: [PATCH] selinux: fix another double free
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2020 08:58:30 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200611155830.8941-1-trix@redhat.com> (raw)

From: Tom Rix <trix@redhat.com>

Clang static analysis reports this double free error

security/selinux/ss/conditional.c:139:2: warning: Attempt to free released memory [unix.Malloc]
        kfree(node->expr.nodes);
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When cond_read_node fails, it calls cond_node_destroy which frees the
node but does not poison the entry in the node list.  So when it
returns to its caller cond_read_list, cond_read_list deletes the
partial list.  The latest entry in the list will be deleted twice.

So instead of freeing the node in cond_read_node, let list freeing in
code_read_list handle the freeing the problem node along with all of the the
earlier nodes.
