[PATCH 5.4 066/111] apparmor: Fix use-after-free in aa_audit_rule_init

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue May 26 2020 - 15:23:49 EST


From: Navid Emamdoost <navid.emamdoost@xxxxxxxxx>

commit c54d481d71c6849e044690d3960aaebc730224cc upstream.

In the implementation of aa_audit_rule_init(), when aa_label_parse()
fails the allocated memory for rule is released using
aa_audit_rule_free(). But after this release, the return statement
tries to access the label field of the rule which results in
use-after-free. Before releasing the rule, copy errNo and return it
after release.

Fixes: 52e8c38001d8 ("apparmor: Fix memory leak of rule on error exit path")
