Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] migration/cpr: Fix UAF in cpr_exec_cb() when execvp() fails
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2025 18:04:06 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251021220407.2662288-4-peterx@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251021220407.2662288-1-peterx@redhat.com>
Per reported and analyzed by Peter:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAFEAcA82ih8RVCm-u1oxiS0V2K4rV4jMzNb13pAV=e2ivmiDRA@mail.gmail.com
Fix the issue by moving the error_setg_errno() earlier. When at it, clear
argv variable after freed.
Resolves: Coverity CID 1641397
Fixes: a3eae205c6 ("migration: cpr-exec mode")
