Return-Path: From: Atul Rai To: linux-bluetooth@vger.kernel.org Cc: sachin.dev@samsung.com Subject: [PATCH v3] android/client: Fix memory leak while using realloc() Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2015 09:50:50 +0530 Message-id: <1438057250-17977-1-git-send-email-a.rai@samsung.com> Sender: linux-bluetooth-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: While reallocating space to store additional "remote device set" using realloc, if realloc() fails, the original block is left untouched but reference to that block is lost as NULL is assigned to remote_devices. The original block needs to be freed before return. --- android/client/if-bt.c | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) diff --git a/android/client/if-bt.c b/android/client/if-bt.c index 4723024..c9acf6c 100644 --- a/android/client/if-bt.c +++ b/android/client/if-bt.c @@ -118,10 +118,19 @@ void add_remote_device(const bt_bdaddr_t *addr) /* Realloc space if needed */ if (remote_devices_cnt >= remote_devices_capacity) { + bt_bdaddr_t *tmp; + remote_devices_capacity *= 2; + /* + * Save reference to previously allocated memory block so that + * it can be freed in case realloc fails. + */ + tmp = remote_devices; + remote_devices = realloc(remote_devices, sizeof(bt_bdaddr_t) * remote_devices_capacity); if (remote_devices == NULL) { + free(tmp); remote_devices_capacity = 0; remote_devices_cnt = 0; return; -- 2.1.4
