CVE 2021 46242 develop (#2255)
* When evicting driver info block, NULL the corresponding entry Since H5C_expunge_entry() called (from H5AC_expunge_entry()) sets the flag H5C__FLUSH_INVALIDATE_FLAG, the driver info block will be freed. NULLing the pointer in f->shared->drvinfo will prevent use-after-free when it is used in other functions (like H5F__dest()) - as other places will check whether the pointer is initialized before using its value. This fixes CVE-2021-46242 / Bug #2254 Signed-off-by: Egbert Eich <eich@suse.com> * When evicting the superblock, NULL the corresponding entry The call to H5AC_expunge_entry() will free the corresonding structure, to avoid a use-after-free, the corrsponding pointer entry will be NULLed.
