Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2023-03-17 13:59:21 UTC 
glib-2.76 drops slice and switches to the system's malloc instead.

This causes some bugs in glib consumers to be exposed. ASAN or Valgrind can help debug these issues.

mcabber-1.1.2-r1 with glib-2.76.0
When running mcabber, it crashes giving the following message

malloc(): unsorted double linked list corrupted Aborted

At the time of compiling mcabber-1.1.2-r1 with glib-2.76.0 everything was normal, unfortunately I have not saved the build logs.

Only solution was UD to glib-2.74.6.
