[Xen-devel] [PATCH] tools/xenstore: fix a use after free problem in xenstored
Posted by Juergen Gross 4 years ago
Commit 562a1c0f7ef3fb ("tools/xenstore: dont unlink connection object
twice") introduced a potential use after free problem in
domain_cleanup(): after calling talloc_unlink() for domain->conn
domain->conn is set to NULL. The problem is that domain is registered
as talloc child of domain->conn, so it might be freed by the
talloc_unlink() call.

Fixes: 562a1c0f7ef3fb ("tools/xenstore: dont unlink connection object twice")
