Subject: [PATCH] Fix the risk of an oops at dvb_dmx_release
Date: Mon, 01 Feb 2010 11:35:22 -0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B66D89A.2030207@redhat.com> (raw)

dvb_dmx_init tries to allocate virtual memory for 2 pointers: filter and feed.

If the second vmalloc fails, filter is freed, but the pointer keeps pointing
to the old place. Later, when dvb_dmx_release() is called, it will try to
free an already freed memory, causing an OOPS.
