[PATCH 3.13 102/103] KEYS: Fix use-after-free in assoc_array_gc()

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Tue Sep 30 2014 - 17:41:39 EST


3.13.11.8 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 27419604f51a97d497853f14142c1059d46eb597 upstream.

An edit script should be considered inaccessible by a function once it has
called assoc_array_apply_edit() or assoc_array_cancel_edit().

However, assoc_array_gc() is accessing the edit script just after the
gc_complete: label.
