Subject: [PATCH] tools lib traceevent: Fix double free in event_read_fields()
Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2022 16:59:37 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221017085937.8583-1-shangxiaojing@huawei.com> (raw)

There is a double free in event_read_fields(). After calling free_token()
to free the token, if append() failed, then goto fail, which will call
free_token() again. Triggered by compiling with perf and run "perf sched
record". Fix the double free by goto fail_expect instead of fail while
append() failed, which won't call redundant free_token().

BUG: double free
free(): double free detected in tcache 2
Aborted

Fixes: d286447f23cd ("tools lib traceevent: Handle realloc() failure path")
