[PATCH v2] selinux: fix double free of cond_list on error paths

From: vbendel
Date: Wed Feb 02 2022 - 06:25:38 EST


From: Vratislav Bendel <vbendel@xxxxxxxxxx>

On error path from cond_read_list() and duplicate_policydb_cond_list()
the cond_list_destroy() gets called a second time in caller functions,
resulting in NULL pointer deref.
Fix this by resetting the cond_list_len to 0 in cond_list_destroy(),
making subsequent calls a noop.

Also consistently reset the cond_list pointer to NULL after freeing.
