Subject: [2.30 COMMITTED] Fix use-after-free in glob when expanding ~user
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2020 21:48:44 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAOraFgB1oQmG7qvQeCxSwr4YLi6X_UMdp7keKedjD=4ja-GSBQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
The value of `end_name' points into the value of `dirname', thus don't
deallocate the latter before the last use of the former.
(cherry picked from commit ddc650e9b3dc916eab417ce9f79e67337b05035c)
