apparmor: Fix use-after-free in aa_audit_rule_init
In the implementation of aa_audit_rule_init(), when aa_label_parse() fails the allocated memory for rule is released using aa_audit_rule_free(). But after this release, the return statement tries to access the label field of the rule which results in use-after-free. Before releasing the rule, copy errNo and return it after release. Fixes: 52e8c38001d8 ("apparmor: Fix memory leak of rule on error exit path") Signed-off-by: Navid Emamdoost <navid.emamdoost@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John Johansen <john.johansen@canonical.com>
