Upstream-Status: Backport The below patch is from http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libpciaccess/commit/?id=a798395a1bfd9d06d40e2d8d14377a156c94429a It would appear in the next .tar.bz2 release. ------------------------------ commit a798395a1bfd9d06d40e2d8d14377a156c94429a Author: Daniel Drake Date: Fri Nov 25 12:28:48 2011 -0600 delete_io_handle: fix deletion of last handle When num_ios goes from 1 to 0, a realloc(ios, 0); call is made. This is equivalent to free(ios) and NULL is returned. However, the previous logic in the code incorrectly discards this NULL return value. When we next call new_io_handle(), realloc(ios, X) is called with "ios" pointing to freed memory. This causes glibc to abort. Correct this logic to detect the 1-to-0 case and handle it correctly. Other cases are unchanged; there is still value in checking the return value from realloc() as it also returns NULL on error.
