Description Vincent Danen 2014-04-29 17:11:18 UTC 
Security researchers Tyson Smith and Jesse Schwartzentruber of the BlackBerry Security Automated Analysis Team used the Address Sanitizer tool while fuzzing to discover a use-after-free during host resolution in some circumstances. This leads to a potentially exploitable crash.
