Subject: [Bug regex/14780] [PATCH] handle malloc() and realloc() failures in regcomp()
Date: Sat, 14 Sep 2013 16:50:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-14780-132-1gEyMMGFeb@http.sourceware.org/bugzilla/> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <bug-14780-132@http.sourceware.org/bugzilla/>

--- Comment #8 from Rich Felker <bugdal at aerifal dot cx> ---
If regcomp() returned failure, passing the regex to regfree() is invalid, so
crashes there would not be a bug. In any case, the memory leaks are a bug and
should be fixed.
