Bug#493289: grub2: config parser accesses a pointer after grub_free is called on that one

Fri Aug 1 19:15:47 UTC 2008

Source: grub2
Severity: important

If you press e to edit the menu entry and then you want to boot it with Ctrl-x 
then it can happen 
that you get a crash with a malloc magic message
or that the text gets corrupted and if you fix it then the malloc magic crash

The original report on grub-devel and the fix from Bean for this
can be found at:
