Subject: [PATCH] loader/i386/efi/linux: Avoid a use-after-free in the linuxefi
b9d01e
 loader
b9d01e
b9d01e
In some error paths in grub_cmd_linux, the pointer to lh may be
b9d01e
dereferenced after the buffer it points to has been freed. There aren't
b9d01e
any security implications from this because nothing else uses the
b9d01e
allocator after the buffer is freed and before the pointer is
b9d01e
dereferenced, but fix it anyway.
