Subject: [PATCH] script/execute: Add NULL check for grub_calloc in gettext_append
Date: Tue,  2 Dec 2025 12:38:45 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251202070845.35256-1-sridharm@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

Add a NULL check after grub_calloc in gettext_append to handle allocation errors.
This prevents using a NULL pointer and stops crashes during string translation.
