[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 13/21] avfilter/vf_remap: Fix double-free of AVFilterFormats on error

[Andreas Rheinhardt]

The query_formats function of the remap filter tries to allocate
two lists of formats which on success are attached to more permanent objects
(AVFilterLinks) for storage afterwards. If attaching a list to an
AVFilterLink succeeds, it is in turn owned by the AVFilterLink (or more
exactly, the AVFilterLink becomes one of the common owners of the list).
Yet if attaching a list to one of its links succeeds and an error happens
lateron, both lists were manually freed, which means that is wrong if the
list is already owned by one or more links; these links' pointers to
their lists will become dangling and there will be a double-free/use-after-
free when these links are cleaned up automatically.

This commit fixes this by removing the custom free code; this will
temporarily add a leaking codepath (if attaching a list not already
owned by a link to a link fails, the list will leak), but this will
be fixed soon by making sure that an AVFilterFormats without owner will
be automatically freed when attaching it to an AVFilterLink fails.
Notice at most one list leaks because a new list is only allocated
after the old list has been successfully attached to a link.
