Subject: [PATCH] libxcmd: don't crash if el_gets returns null
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2020 10:07:30 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200427170730.GQ6742@magnolia> (raw)

From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@oracle.com>

el_gets returns NULL if it fails to read any characters (due to EOF or
errors occurred).  strdup will crash if it is fed a NULL string, so
check the return value to avoid segfaulting.
