Subject: potrace: memory allocation failure
Description:
potrace is a utility that transforms bitmaps into vector graphics.
A crafted image, through a fuzz testing, causes the memory allocation to fail.
This is the first case where my ASan symbolyzer didn’t start up correctly. I’m
reporting only what it prints at the end (not useful at all but demostrates a
bit that the issue exist)
# potrace $FILE
potrace: warning: 2.hangs: premature end of file
==13660==ERROR: AddressSanitizer failed to allocate 0x200003000 (8589946880)
