Subject: [PATCH conntrack-tools] nfct: Fix use-after-free / double-free
Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2013 21:05:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131011200534.GD2728@doj> (raw)

helper's list and flush commands handlers shouldn't call mnl_socket_close on the
passed netlink socket as it is done in the main function after parse_params
call.
