Bug 406739 – media-libs/sdl-mixer-1.2.12: crash on double free if loading WAV file failed

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Nikos Chantziaras 2012-03-03 08:13:39 UTC]

There's a bug in the current version of SDL_mixer where failing to load a WAV sample will result in freeing a resource twice, resulting in an application crash.  There is an upstream fix for this:

http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL_mixer/rev/ea53a85853dd

Upstream bug: http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1418

Since SDL_mixer releases are very rare, this probably needs to be included in portage (could be years until upstream makes another release.)

in portage.  thanks for the bug report.

This needs a revbump, btw.

nah, it's a ~ package and a rare condition.  Re-emerge if it affects you somehow.
