Subject: [PATCH v3] vfio: Clear the caps->buf to NULL after free
Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2022 10:29:48 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220629022948.55608-1-schspa@gmail.com> (raw)

On buffer resize failure, vfio_info_cap_add() will free the buffer,
report zero for the size, and return -ENOMEM.  As additional
hardening, also clear the buffer pointer to prevent any chance of a
double free.

Signed-off-by: Schspa Shi <schspa@gmail.com>

Changelog:
v1 -> v2:
        - Remove incorrect double free report in commit message.
v2 -> v3:
        - Update commit comment as Alex advised.
