Hello U-Boot lists!
I think I found a double free bug in U-Boot, in /cmp/gpt.c in the function
do_rename_gpt_parts().
On line 702 the partition_list is being free'd if ret is smaller than 0.
If the return value is not -ENOMEM it will go to the out: label and free the
partition_list again.
Reading the code, I can confirm that. Funny enough, the code in question was
introduced by commit 18030d04 ("GPT: fix memory leaks identified by Coverity").
Although I think Coverity should have detected the resulting double-free...
However, I'm not sure of the fix: the code just continues for -ENOMEM and then
goes on using partitions_list at line 757...
So, Coverity later did complain about that change (but not immediately,
funny enough). I posted http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1192036/ and
was hoping for a review on it as it's complex enough I'd like to avoid
adding a 3rd round of issues there. Thanks!
Ah, yes. I've just responded there.
Regards,
Simon
