This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #2042196

I am copying this bug because: 

It seems this problem exists in rhel9.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-5.14.0-138.el9.x86_64
libtirpc-1.3.2-1.el9.x86_64

Description of problem:

When an rpc call returns an error, lirbirpc frees the memory associated with the call before obtaining the error number stored in that memory.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libtirpc-1.1.4-6.el8


How reproducible:

easy


Steps to Reproduce:

* add iptables rule to reject udp incoming to port 111:

	# iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 111 -j REJECT --reject-with=icmp-host-prohibited

* make rpc call over udp

	# valgrind rpcinfo -T udp localhost


Actual results:

# valgrind rpcinfo -T udp localhost

Expected results:

no use-after-free


Additional info:


The clnt_dg_call error handling reads the error number after it frees the memory that contains the error:

            for (cmsg = CMSG_FIRSTHDR (&msg); cmsg;
                 cmsg = CMSG_NXTHDR (&msg, cmsg))
              if (cmsg->cmsg_level == SOL_IP && cmsg->cmsg_type == IP_RECVERR)
                {
                  mem_free(cbuf, (outlen + 256));               <<<<<<<< 'cbuf' freed
                  e = (struct sock_extended_err *) CMSG_DATA(cmsg);
                  cu->cu_error.re_errno = e->ee_errno;          <<<<<<<< 'e' is a pointer to a location within 'cbuf' that was just freed
                  release_fd_lock(cu->cu_fd_lock, mask);
                  return (cu->cu_error.re_status = RPC_CANTRECV);
                }
