From b5c66bab72a6a65edb15beb60b90d3cb84c5763b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cong Wang Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2017 15:40:53 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] 9p: fix a potential acl leak posix_acl_update_mode() could possibly clear 'acl', if so we leak the memory pointed by 'acl'. Save this pointer before calling posix_acl_update_mode() and release the memory if 'acl' really gets cleared.
