the test failed because of an heap overflow discovered with ASAN. Please check if it is intended on not, and while on it if there are security implications. The best could be get in touch with upstream

This test is from gnulib.

If you try build gnulib itself with ASAN, can you reproduce the failure? If so, please report it upstream to bug-gnulib@ (and link it here, feel free to CC me too).

I've not analysed the test to see if ASAN is getting confused by gnulib's own free() implementation (if it even has one, I assume it does given the test exists) or not.
