From a9a20e7f69f4a91a4d5267ab5ce14125bdc7d6c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Billy McFall Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2017 11:39:12 -0500 Subject: VPP-635: CLI Memory leak with invalid parameter In the CLI parsing, below is a common pattern: /* Get a line of input. */ if (!unformat_user (input, unformat_line_input, line_input)) return 0; while (unformat_check_input (line_input) != UNFORMAT_END_OF_INPUT) { if (unformat (line_input, "x")) x = 1; : else return clib_error_return (0, "unknown input `%U'", format_unformat_error, line_input); } unformat_free (line_input); The 'else' returns if an unknown string is encountered. There a memory leak because the 'unformat_free(line_input)' is not called. There is a large number of instances of this pattern. Replaced the previous pattern with: /* Get a line of input. */ if (!unformat_user (input, unformat_line_input, line_input)) return 0; while (unformat_check_input (line_input) != UNFORMAT_END_OF_INPUT) { if (unformat (line_input, "x")) x = 1; : else { error = clib_error_return (0, "unknown input `%U'", format_unformat_error, line_input); goto done: } } /* ...Remaining code... */ done: unformat_free (line_input); return error; } In multiple files, 'unformat_free (line_input);' was never called, so there was a memory leak whether an invalid string was entered or not. Also, there were multiple instance where: error = clib_error_return (0, "unknown input `%U'", format_unformat_error, line_input); used 'input' as the last parameter instead of 'line_input'. The result is that output did not contain the substring in error, instead just an empty string. Fixed all of those as well. There are a lot of file, and very mind numbing work, so tried to keep it to a pattern to avoid mistakes.
