It can be easily reproduced with the following: # chmod +s `which mount.cifs` # echo "//localhost/share /mnt cifs \ users,username=foo,password=XXXX" >> /etc/fstab # su - foo $ mount /mnt free(): double free detected in tcache 2 Child process terminated abnormally. The problem was that check_fstab() already freed orgoptions pointer and then we freed it again in main() function.
