Subject: [PATCH] selftests: nci: Fix wrong size of status variables in nci_dev test
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 13:23:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710112300.512433-1-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)
From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>
pthread_join() stores the thread's return value (a "void *", i.e.
8 bytes on 64 bit computers) into the address of "status", but the
"status" variable is declared as "int" with only 4 bytes. The extra
four bytes clobber whatever is adjacent on the stack, which could
silently corrupt other local variables. Use "intptr_t" to declare
the "status" variables with the correct size.
