Subject: [PATCH dpdk] graph: fix use-after-free when updating edges with active graphs
Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2025 23:13:04 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251031221304.394997-2-rjarry@redhat.com> (raw)

After creating at least one graph and calling rte_node_edge_update to
add a new edge on a node which is in use in the graph, the node memory
is reallocated but the active graph still has a pointer to the freed
memory.

When destroying the graph, it causes a use-after-free error detected by
libasan:

ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-use-after-free

    ...

Use malloc+memcpy and add an internal function to replace all references
to the old node memory before freeing it.
