From 93bc4e89c260d91576840c4881d1066d84ccd422 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pekka Enberg Date: Sat, 26 Jul 2008 17:49:33 -0700 Subject: netfilter: fix double-free and use-after free As suggested by Patrick McHardy, introduce a __krealloc() that doesn't free the original buffer to fix a double-free and use-after-free bug introduced by me in netfilter that uses RCU.
