Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix potential use after free in __ext4_journal_stop
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2015 16:45:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1441205154-16501-1-git-send-email-lczerner@redhat.com> (raw)
There is a use-after-free possibility in __ext4_journal_stop() in the
case that we free the handle in the first jbd2_journal_stop() because
we're referencing handle->h_err afterwards. This was introduced in
9705acd63b125dee8b15c705216d7186daea4625 and it is wrong. Fix it by
storing the handle->h_err value beforehand and avoid referencing
potentially freed handle.
