Describe
This patch fixes a potential null pointer dereference in the
check_sync_fuzzers()
function by moving theclosedir(dir)
call inside theif (dir)
block.Expected Behavior
closedir(dir)
should only be called whendir
is a valid directory pointer returned byopendir()
.This ensures the program avoids undefined behavior when
opendir()
fails.Actual Behavior
Previously,
closedir(dir)
was called unconditionally, even whendir
might beNULL
due toopendir()
failure.Calling
closedir(NULL)
results in undefined behavior and may cause a segmentation fault.This change prevents undefined behavior and improves stability in edge cases.
Thanks for reviewing.
