From aff10a165201f6f60cff225083ce301ad3f5d8f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yang Jihong Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2024 04:03:02 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] perf record: Fix possible incorrect free in record__switch_output() perf_data__switch() may not assign a legal value to 'new_filename'. In this case, 'new_filename' uses the on-stack value, which may cause a incorrect free and unexpected result.
