[PATCH] tools/ocaml/libs: Fix memory/resource leaks with caml_alloc_custom()
Posted by Andrew Cooper 1 year, 2 months ago
All caml_alloc_*() functions can throw exceptions, and longjump out of
context.  If this happens, we leak the xch/xce handle.

Reorder the logic to allocate the the Ocaml object first.

Fixes: 8b3c06a3e545 ("tools/ocaml/xenctrl: OCaml 5 support, fix use-after-free")
Fixes: 22d5affdf0ce ("tools/ocaml/evtchn: OCaml 5 support, fix potential resource leak")
