Message-ID: <1316497936-16901-1-git-send-email-rongqing.li@windriver.com> Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2011 13:52:16 +0800 From: <rongqing.li@...driver.com> To: <netdev@...r.kernel.org>, <eric.dumazet@...il.com>, <stable@...nel.org> Subject: [PATCH net-next] ipv6: fix a possible double free From: Roy.Li <rongqing.li@...driver.com> When calling snmp6_alloc_dev fails, the snmp6 relevant memory are freed by snmp6_alloc_dev. Calling in6_dev_finish_destroy will free these memory twice. Double free will lead that undefined behavior occurs.
