Subject: [PATCH] reiserfsprogs: fix use after free with fsck_progress
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2010 17:48:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4BC789C2.4030207@suse.com> (raw)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

 fsck_progress uses fs to get the log file handle but fs is freed before
 fsck_progress is caleld when it's about to print the "finished" message.

 When glibc is run with:
 MALLOC_CHECK_=3
 MALLOC_PERTURB_=69

 as is the default on newer versions of openSUSE, it poisons freed memory
 to detect conditions like this. As a result, reiserfsck segfaults on these
 systems.

 This patch fixes fsck to close the file system after printing the completion
 message.

 Edward, I'm working on adding support to check extended attributes, so please
 hold off on an update until I post those patches early next week.
