Subject: HID: picolcd: Eliminate use after free
The skip label frees resp, which has not been allocated at the point of
this goto and then does a break, based on the fact that err is non-zero.
This is replaced by a break directly.
A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
//
@free@
expression E;
position p;
@@
kfree@p(E)
@@
expression free.E, subE<=free.E, E1;
position free.p;
@@
kfree@p(E)
...
(
subE = E1
|
* E
)
