Description Philipp Wiesemann 2013-04-14 05:30:56 UTC 
There is a NULL pointer dereference in SDL_AllocRW() if the system is out of memory. The "type" field is always written. This may be fixed with an early return.

Or an else{} or not writing the field and using slower SDL_calloc().

This fault was recently introduced (http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/681820ca0e78).
