From fdba2538855d8ad94bbe5e9c21c8564d01b20f1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Malcolm Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2011 18:16:25 -0500 Subject: fix use-after-free within rpmfdFromPyObject's error-handling These lines within python/rpmfd-py.c: rpmfdFromPyObject are the wrong way around: Py_DECREF(fdo); PyErr_SetString(PyExc_IOError, Fstrerror(fdo->fd)); If fdo was allocated by the call above to PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs, it may have an ob_refcnt == 1, and thus the Py_DECREF() frees it, so fdo->fd is reading from deallocated memory.
