Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] snapshot: Reset err to NULL to avoid double free
Date: Mon,  6 Oct 2014 09:33:45 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1412613225-32676-1-git-send-email-chris.spiegel@cypherpath.com> (raw)

If an error occurs in bdrv_snapshot_delete_by_id_or_name(), "err" is
freed.  If "err" is not set to NULL before calling
bdrv_snapshot_delete_by_id_or_name() again, it will not be updated on
error, and will be freed again.

This can be triggered by starting a VM with at least two drives and then
attempting to delete a non-existent snapshot.
