Subject: [PATCH] target/i386: Fix memory leak in sev_read_file_base64()
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2021 17:56:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210820165650.2839-1-peter.maydell@linaro.org> (raw)
In sev_read_file_base64() we call g_file_get_contents(), which
allocates memory for the file contents. We then base64-decode the
contents (which allocates another buffer for the decoded data), but
forgot to free the memory for the original file data.
Use g_autofree to ensure that the file data is freed.
Fixes: Coverity CID 1459997
