From e0dce0e5dc363b7e307984706c130f6ee769259b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Phil Sutter Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2015 14:24:32 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] misc/ss: avoid NULL pointer dereference This was working before, but only if realloc a) succeeded and b) did not move the buffer to a different location. ''**buf = **new_buf' then writes the value of *new_buf's first field into that of *buf.
