Subject: [PATCH] conntrack: fix nfct_clone with certain attribute data types
Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2012 22:39:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1353361195-2345-1-git-send-email-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
some attributes are pointers to malloc'd objects. Simply
copying the pointer results in use-after free
when the original or the clone is destroyed.
Also, add test case for cloned objects to ensure that
ct = nfct_new();
ct2 = nfct_clone(ct);
nfct_destroy(ct);
nfct_destroy(ct2);
won't crash due to double-frees.

When working on the connlabel stuff I noticed that nfct_clone does a
plain memcpy. Afaics nfct_clone has returned a shallow copy for ages.
But documentation implies that it really should do a deep copy.
Pablo, could you please double-check? Thanks!
