commit eea0d3ea7546961f69f55b26714ac8fd71c7c020 upstream. During freeing of the internal buffers used by the DRBG, set the pointer to NULL. It is possible that the context with the freed buffers is reused. In case of an error during initialization where the pointers do not yet point to allocated memory, the NULL value prevents a double free.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
