That's an unfortunate interaction between libattr and libasan, and has nothing to do with patch itself.  I've added a workaround to libattr:

While there's no longer a double free, instead patch now crashes with a recursive stack overflow on the same input.

That's... not much better.

Any progress on this?

An empty file will do.

I could trace the double-free down to the first free in another_hunk in line 1185.  Something seems to be going wrong with swapping around p_bfake / p_efake in pch_swap; the second swap doesn't restore the original values.  I couldn't figure out what's wrong exactly, though.

In order to reproduce the bug, it would help to also have the file to which the patch is being tentatively applied.

The attached file causes a double free. This can be seen by compiling patch (current git, f290f48a621867084884bfff87f8093c15195e6a) with Address Sanitizer (-fsanitize=address in CFLAGS).

This was found with afl.
