Subject: Coverity: elf_create_prefix_symbol(): Resource leaks
Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2022 12:32:38 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <202211041232.6071ACE@keescook> (raw)
Hello!
This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by
Coverity from a scan of next-20221104 as part of the linux-next scan project:
https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan
You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified
lines of code (noted below) that were touched by commits:
Tue Nov 1 13:44:09 2022 +0100
9f2899fe36a6 ("objtool: Add option to generate prefix symbols")
Coverity reported the following:
*** CID 1527141: Resource leaks (RESOURCE_LEAK)
tools/objtool/elf.c:833 in elf_create_prefix_symbol()
827 struct symbol *sym = calloc(1, sizeof(*sym));
828 size_t namelen = strlen(orig->name) + sizeof("__pfx_");
829 char *name = malloc(namelen);
830
831 if (!sym || !name) {
832 perror("malloc");
vvv CID 1527141: Resource leaks (RESOURCE_LEAK)
vvv Variable "sym" going out of scope leaks the storage it points to.
833 return NULL;
834 }
835
836 snprintf(name, namelen, "__pfx_%s", orig->name);
837
838 sym->name = name;
If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as
such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make
sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please
include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first):
