Subject: [PATCH] gc: fix cast in compare_tasks_by_selection()
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2020 22:59:49 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d80423b7-c89d-99a2-ce49-8308822f7769@web.de> (raw)

compare_tasks_by_selection() is used with QSORT and gets passed pointers
to the elements of "static struct maintenance_task tasks[]".  It casts
the *addresses* of these passed pointers to element pointers, though,
and thus effectively compares some unrelated values from the stack.  Fix
the casts to actually compare array elements.

Detected by USan (make SANITIZE=undefined test).
