Readline-Release: 8.3
Patch-ID: readline83-002
Bug-Reported-by: Tobias Powalowski <[email protected]>
Bug-Reference-ID: <[email protected]>
Bug-Reference-URL:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2025-07/msg00005.html
Bug-Description:
If an application calls rl_save_prompt, which sets rl_prompt to NULL,
without calling rl_set_prompt to set it to a new value, readline redisplay
can dereference a NULL pointer.
