[packages/util-linux.git] / util-linux-2.12q-update_mtab-fixes.patch

This fixes a few issues with update_mtab():
- If it is a remount, and only mnt_opts needs updating, mc->m.mnt_opts is set
  to point to instead->mnt_opts, rather than allocating a new string, which
  would cause a double free if the caller actually freed the passed mnt_opts,
  as we free mc->m.mnt_opts before returning to the caller.
- Mostly the same issue as above.  If mtab does not contain the new entry, then
  absent->m is set to point to instead, which would have cause a double free
  if absent was inserted properly into the linked list, since we free all
  elements of absent before returning to the caller.
- If mtab does not contain the new entry, then only mc0->prev is updated to
  point to absent, but not the old mc0->prev's nxt pointer.  Because we then
  use the nxt pointers to write the new mtab, absent is not added to the new
  mtab.
- If mtab is empty, absent->prev should be set to mc0, and not mc0->prev, as
  it will be NULL.
- Memory leak if we have to abort before mc0 and co are freed.
