Subject: [PATCH] perf tool: Fix use after free in filename__read_build_id
Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2014 12:16:12 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141216021612.GA7199@mitchell> (raw)

In filename__read_build_id, phdr points to memory in buf, which gets realloced
before a call to fseek that uses phdr->p_offset. This change stores the value
of p_offset before buf is realloced, so the fseek can use the value safely.
