Re: [Libguestfs] [PATCH] daemon: btrfs: fix bad handling of a couple of errors

Remove two wrong error handling situations in btrfs_balance_status: - if the calloc for 'ret' fails, the 'goto error' would try to dereference the resulting null pointer (to free the items of the return struct); hence, just return null directly, instead of jumping to 'error' - if the strdup() for 'btrfsbalance_status' fails, then the directly return would leak 'ret' --- daemon/btrfs.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/daemon/btrfs.c b/daemon/btrfs.c index d363ada6d..26757d4fb 100644 --- a/daemon/btrfs.c +++ b/daemon/btrfs.c @@ -1686,7 +1686,7 @@ do_btrfs_balance_status (const char *path) ret = calloc (1, sizeof *ret); if (ret == NULL) { reply_with_perror ("calloc"); - goto error; + return NULL; } /* Output of `btrfs balance status' is like: @@ -1715,7 +1715,7 @@ do_btrfs_balance_status (const char *path) ret->btrfsbalance_status = strdup ("none"); if (ret->btrfsbalance_status == NULL) { reply_with_perror ("strdup"); - return NULL; + goto error; } return ret; } -- 2.13.6
