https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=757656 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=757656#c1 --- Comment #1 from Jeff Mahoney 2012-04-17 20:13:07 EDT --- Created an attachment (id=486552) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=486552) [PATCH] NetworkManager: GError * must be initialized to NULL The glib GError API expects a GError ** that it uses to assign an API-allocated error descriptor. It expects that the calling code has initialized to the pointer to NULL. If the pointer is uninitialized, it will use whatever garbage is on the stack causing crashes or, depending on the caller, potential memory corruption. During testing with _MALLOC_PERTURB enabled, I encountered a crash due to this issue where error->message contained the perturb value. The following patch fixes the remaining call sites. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
