util: fix use-after-free in module_load_one
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
g_hash_table_add always retains ownership of the pointer passed in as
the key. Its return status merely indicates whether the added entry was
new, or replaced an existing entry. Thus key must never be freed after
this method returns.

Spotted by ASAN:

Typical C bug...
