Subject: [PATCH] loader/i386/efi/linux: Avoid a use-after-free in the linuxefi
bf0270
 loader
bf0270
bf0270
In some error paths in grub_cmd_linux, the pointer to lh may be
bf0270
dereferenced after the buffer it points to has been freed. There aren't
bf0270
any security implications from this because nothing else uses the
bf0270
allocator after the buffer is freed and before the pointer is
bf0270
dereferenced, but fix it anyway.
