From 8e531af90f3940615623dc0aa6c94866a6773601 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2008 11:49:47 -0400 Subject: 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.
