Conversation
In src/tool_operate.c inside the Windows safe-search branch (#ifdef CURL_CA_SEARCH_SAFE), the code assigns config->cacert = strdup(cacert); at line 2076 without checking whether strdup returned NULL. This would allow the code to continue with the wrong value set, causing possible confusion. Pointed out by ZeroPath
