From ee92da3498723edb0049ed76479392da179ec5b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Oberhollenzer Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2022 18:54:24 +0200 Subject: Fix: libfstree: double free in error path If fstree_mknode fails, because the parent link count would overflow, the function fails and cleans up behind it. The problem arises because the function does this check *after* inserting the node in the parent node, so it is later free'd again, when destroying the rest of the tree. This patch moves the insertion after the check to mitigate the problem.
