Subject: [PATCH] identification: Fix double-free when cloning empty IDs
The clone() method was missing a branch when there is an encoded chunk
of length 0 that still needed to be cloned. Otherwise, the destruction
of the clone frees the same pointer that the original owns.
This double free was found with an improved `fuzz_ids` fuzz harness and
a two byte input to create an identification from "@#" or [0x40, 0x23].
It can also be triggered with `<type>:#` e.g. `dns:#`.
One of the problematic constructors is used to parse EAP-Identities,
which are cloned before storing them in the auth-cfg. So this can be
triggered by an unauthenticated attacker.
Note that while the length check was already added with 418dbd624363
("cloning %any ID without zero-byte memleak") and identities that trigger
this can be created since 86ab5636c2c9 ("support for @#hex ID_KEY_ID
identification_t"), it was the referenced commit that made the length
check problematic.
Fixes: 2147da40a5d7 ("simplified identification_t.clone() using memcpy")
Fixes: CVE-2026-47895
CVE: CVE-2026-47895
