Subject: [PATCH] tests/qtest/libqos/ahci.c: Avoid NULL dereference in ahci_exec()
Date: Tue,  3 Nov 2020 11:52:57 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201103115257.23623-1-peter.maydell@linaro.org> (raw)

In ahci_exec() we attempt to permit the caller to pass a NULL pointer
for opts_in (in which case we use a default set of options).  However
although we check for NULL when setting up the opts variable at the
top of the function, we unconditionally dereference opts_in at the
end of the function as part of freeing the opts->buffer.

Switch to checking whether the final buffer is the same as the
buffer we started with, instead of assuming the value we started
with is always opts_in->buffer.

At the moment all the callers pass a non-NULL opts argument, so
we never saw any crashes in practice.

Fixes: Coverity CID 1432302
