#4837 closed defect (fixed)

check of shm_img pointer in ChromaKeyOSD::AllocImage() should be done before shm_img is dereferenced

Reported by: Erik Hovland <erik@…> Owned by: danielk
Priority: minor Milestone: 0.22
Component: mythtv Version: 0.21-fixes
Severity: low Keywords:
Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description

shm_img is dereferenced before it is checked: 

    uint size = shm_img->bytes_per_line * (shm_img->height+1) + 128;
    X11U;

    if (shm_img)

Which means the caller of this member function will segfault if the shm call didn't work.
