Fix race in free() of fastbin chunk: BZ #15073
Perform sanity check only if we have_lock. Due to lockless nature of
fastbins
we need to be careful derefencing pointers to fastbin entries
(chunksize(old)
in this case) in multithreaded environments.
The fix is to add have_lock to the if-condition checks. The rest of the
patch
only makes code more readable.
* malloc/malloc.c (_int_free): Perform sanity check only if we
have_lock.
