NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-debug-devel package and not the kernel-debug-devel package as distributed by RHEL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

selinux: fix double free of cond_list on error paths

On error path from cond_read_list() and duplicate_policydb_cond_list() the cond_list_destroy() gets called a second time in caller functions, resulting in NULL pointer deref. Fix this by resetting the cond_list_len to 0 in cond_list_destroy(), making subsequent calls a noop.

Also consistently reset the cond_list pointer to NULL after freeing.

[PM: fix line lengths in the description]
