Description Thorsten Behrens (allotropia) 2018-05-22 08:50:46 UTC 
Description:
Code in basic/source/runtime/dllmgr-x86.cxx / basic/source/runtime/dllmgr-x64.cxx frequently takes a pointer to a vector element, then modifies the vector (and therefore potentially accessing freed memory).

Code needs some tweaks to avoid that, here's a sample commit:

@thorsten:
This is among old EasyHacks that we have without any submissions. Do you think this is still relevant? Do you have any opinions on how to find similar instances, if the issue is still relevant?

Removing the EasyHack tag because the task is not clear for the EasyHackers. Also, as per discussion on IRC.
