Hi,

In /ext/xmlrpc/libxmlrpc/queue.c a use-after-free occurs:


542   free(iter);
[..]

547   if (q->cursor == (node*)iter) {


Thanks,

It's not really use after free, since iter is never dereferenced, it is just compared to another pointer. As far as I can see, there's nothing dangerous in comparing pointer to pointer, even if the memory under that pointer was deallocated.
