Subject: netfilter 05/06: fix double-free and use-after free
Date: Sun, 27 Jul 2008 01:37:14 +0200 (MEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080726233712.15283.88177.sendpatchset@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080726233705.15283.38364.sendpatchset@localhost.localdomain>

netfilter: fix double-free and use-after free

As suggested by Patrick McHardy, introduce a __krealloc() that doesn't
free the original buffer to fix a double-free and use-after-free bug
introduced by me in netfilter that uses RCU.
