[PATCH v5 07/12] refs/files: fix NULL pointer deref when releasing ref store

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

 



The `free_ref_cache()` function is not `NULL` safe and will thus
segfault when being passed such a pointer. This can easily happen when
trying to release a partially initialized "files" ref store. Fix this.
