Description Andrey Konovalov 2021-03-09 15:43:23 UTC 
Currently, KASAN describes all invalid-free/double-free bugs as "double-free or invalid-free". This is redundant. KASAN should either use "invalid-free" for all of such bugs, or use "double-free" when a double-free is a more likely cause (the address that's being freed points to the start of an object) and use "invalid-free" otherwise.
