[PATCH v2] util: fix use-after-free in module_load_one
Posted by marcandre.lureau@redhat.com 3 years, 1 month ago
From: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com>

g_hash_table_add always retains ownership of the pointer passed in as
the key. Its return status merely indicates whether the added entry was
new, or replaced an existing entry. Thus key must never be freed after
this method returns.

Spotted by ASAN:

Typical C bug...
