------- Comment From baude.com 2012-09-26 20:14 EDT------- patch coming, need to mirror first to add bugz # into patch Created attachment 618226 [details] Fix crash on http This patch fixes the crashes on http. The crashes are cause by freeing file->data on receiving TCP FIN flag, since file->data is used all over without checking. http_close() will be called later to free that memory anyway and there is no need for action from the http side on receiving the FIN flag. I've only tested on ppc64, but this issue probably affects all arches, since the code is not arch-specific. You may not see this issue if your http server keeps the connection alive between several requests. Patch sent upstream: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2012-09/msg00081.html grub2-2.00-10.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/grub2-2.00-10.fc18 Package grub2-2.00-10.fc18: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 18 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.
