[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qmp_output_visitor_cleanup(): fix double free


From: Laszlo Ersek
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qmp_output_visitor_cleanup(): fix double free
Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 20:16:12 +0100

Stack entries in QmpOutputVisitor are navigation links (weak references),
except the bottom (ie. least recently added) entry, which owns the root
QObject [1]. Make qmp_output_visitor_cleanup() drop the stack entries,
then release the QObject tree by the root.

Attempting to serialize an invalid enum inside a dictionary is an example
for triggering the double free.
