Last modified: 2012-06-11 09:23:38 UTC
Created attachment 216006 [details] [review] Fix use-after-free in get_file_content_as_base64() Fixes a segfault on a Via Esther 32-bit system I have after mistyping a URL. Odd that this would trigger now instead of earlier, since the affected code is from 2009.

We committed this anyway, since Carlos' patch is a bit more complex and I think we need to solve this already.
