Dear experts, mimicking the protection on 'char *user' used by XrdOfsFile::XrdOfsFile() in https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/blob/fd23efca7f1b2bb5bf2d2cd70f060c1ec9385bc6/src/XrdOfs/XrdOfs.cc#L438 I modified XrdThrottle::File::File() https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/blob/0e460d7a11702c9935ed9fc1c67f22cb998b6fa4/src/XrdThrottle/XrdThrottleFile.cc#L35 replacing m_user(user), with m_user(user ? user : ""), and this fixed the crash reported above, without visible drawbacks. @abh3 , @bbockelm , what do you think about this fix ? Thanks ! Best regards, Giuseppe. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
