#80: Jabberd's memory management doesn't deal with OOM cases
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: sxw | Owner: smoku
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Component: General
Version: 2.1 | Blocking:
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
In lots of locations in the jabberd2 codebase there are code patterns of
the form
{{{
str = malloc(1024);
strcpy(str, "String");
}}}
This leads to segmentation faults in situations where malloc() fails due
to an out-of-memory error.
Ideally, malloc and friends would be replaced with wrappers which would
call malloc, and exit the program gracefully should malloc fail.
I'd be happy to create a patch to do this (sed is my friend :)), if this
approach is acceptable.
