From 6899e92d65c490c5292752718ff277b123f8c00a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Cox Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2012 16:02:09 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] binfmt_elf: fix corner case kfree of uninitialized data If elf_core_dump() is called and fill_note_info() fails in the kmalloc() then it returns 0 but has not yet initialised all the needed fields. As a result we do a kfree(randomness) after correctly skipping the thread data.
