Subject[PATCH] lkdtm: fix potential use after free
Date
From: swkhack <swkhack@gmail.com>

The function lkdtm_WRITE_AFTER_FREE calls kfree(base) to free the memory
of base. However, following kfree(base),
it write the memory which base point to via base[offset] = 0x0abcdef0. This may result in a
use-after-free bug. This patch moves kfree(base) after the write.
