Description SMASH SMASH 2024-03-27 12:41:20 UTC 
GNU Midnight Commander 4.8.29-146-g299d9a2fb was discovered to contain a NULL pointer dereference via the function x_error_handler() at tty/x11conn.c. NOTE: this is disputed because it should be categorized as a usability problem (an X operation silently fails).
