Subject: SELinux: memory leak in security_context_to_sid_core
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8e531af90f3940615623dc0aa6c94866a6773601;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

SELinux: memory leak in security_context_to_sid_core

Fix a bug and a philosophical decision about who handles errors.

security_context_to_sid_core() was leaking a context in the common case.
This was causing problems on fedora systems which recently have started
making extensive use of this function.

In discussion it was decided that if string_to_context_struct() had an
error it was its own responsibility to clean up any mess it created
along the way.
