Title:
uninitialised list pointer in configuration directory handling
Status in Light Display Manager:
Fix Released
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
We seem to have an uninitialised GList pointer in the directory
handling for the configuration directory.
main(...)
[...]
if (config_d_dir)
{
GDir *dir;
GList *files, *link;
[...]
files = g_list_append (files, g_strdup (name));
[...]
}
This leads to SIGSEGV during startup. Oddly this is rarely triggered,
I would expect this to be common.
