[malloc] memory allocation problems - html/forms

check bug 8227 for more details on what needs to be done to this code\

Summary: [malloc] memory allocation problems - html/forms
Status: NEW → RESOLVED
Closed: 25 years ago
Resolution: --- → FIXED
Just checked in a fix.

This is a code level fix and can not be verified by running the program.
To verify the fix visit this url and notice that on line 442, the line contains
"if (initData) {"

http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/layout/html/forms/src/nsSelectControlFrame.cpp#442

This checks for a valid pointer before dereferencing it, which eliminates the
bug.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
