Subject: [PATCH] apparmor: Fix use-after-free in aa_audit_rule_init
Date:   Wed, 16 Oct 2019 20:46:18 -0500
Message-Id: <20191017014619.26708-1-navid.emamdoost@gmail.com>
To:     unlisted-recipients:; (no To-header on input)
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

In the implementation of aa_audit_rule_init(), when aa_label_parse()
fails the allocated memory for rule is released using
aa_audit_rule_free(). But after this release the the return statement
tries to access the label field of the rule which results in
use-after-free. Before releaseing the rule, copy errNo and return it
after releasing rule.

Fixes: 52e8c38001d8 ("apparmor: Fix memory leak of rule on error exit path")
