[PATCH] Fix premature release of file_info memory in eCryptfs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The file_info struct is being released, and then one of its members is
referenced from the released memory. This patch cleans up the function
and moves the release so that it occurs after the reference.
