[PATCH] Fix usage of uninitialized pointer

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In the error path after a getgrgid_r failure (e.g. when a unnamed gid
was used), the pointer tsv->group was left unitialized. Still the tsv
was given to pthread_setspecific(key_thread_stdenv_vars,...) and the
consumers used and freed the uninitialized pointer.

Handle the error by not calling pthread_setspecific. Clean up
and return instead.
