[PATCH] system/boot/loader/vfs.cpp: fix use after free

Reported by: mt Owned by: axeld
Priority: normal Milestone: Unscheduled
Component: System/Boot Loader Version: R1/Development
Keywords: Cc:
Blocked By: Blocking:
Platform: All

Description

Since Node::Close() calls Node::Release() [1], dir->directory->Close() at line 1206 [2] could delete dir->directory itself, and then dir->directory may be used after free at next line 1207.

It's not a bug, though: opendir() acquires two references (in line ​1170 and ​1184), and closedir() loses them both again.

Thanks anyway, it's appreciated!
