CVE-2022-48740 Information

Description

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]
