[PATCH v5 12/37] lib: prevent module unloading if memory is not freed

From: Suren Baghdasaryan
Date: Wed Mar 06 2024 - 13:29:05 EST


Skip freeing module's data section if there are non-zero allocation tags
because otherwise, once these allocations are freed, the access to their
code tag would cause UAF.
