Subject: KEYS: Fix use-after-free in assoc_array_gc()
From: David Howells <[email protected]>
commit 27419604f51a97d497853f14142c1059d46eb597 upstream.
An edit script should be considered inaccessible by a function once it has
called assoc_array_apply_edit() or assoc_array_cancel_edit().
However, assoc_array_gc() is accessing the edit script just after the
gc_complete: label.
