Subject: [PATCH 1/6] coredump: format_corename() can leak cn->corename
Date: Wed, 15 May 2013 22:12:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130515201219.GA14624@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130515201158.GA14606@redhat.com>
do_coredump() assumes that format_corename() can only fail if
expand_corename() fails and frees cn->corename. This is not true,
for example cn_print_exe_file() can fail and in this case nobody
frees cn->corename.
Change do_coredump() to always do kfree(cn->corename) after it
calls format_corename() (NULL is fine), change expand_corename()
to do nothing if kmalloc() fails.
