Subject: [PATCH] Fix read after xfree in linux_nat_detach
Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2017 13:11:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170322131132.98976-2-prudo@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170322131132.98976-1-prudo@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

At the end of linux_nat_detach there is a check whether the inferior has a
fork.  If no fork exists the main_lwp is detached (detach_one_lwp) and
later, outside the check, deleted (delete_lwp).  This is problematic as
detach_one_lwp also calls delete_lwp freeing main_lwp.  Thus the second
call to delete_lwp reads from already freed memory.  Fix this by removing
delete_lwp at the end of detach_one_lwp.

gdb/ChangeLog:
	* linux-nat.c (detach_one_lwp): Remove call to delete_lwp.
	(detach_callback): Add call to delete_lwp and rename ...
	(detach_and_delete_callback): ... to this.
	(linux_nat_detach): Adjust.
