+Subject: [PATCH] librt: fix NULL pointer dereference (bug 28213)
+
+Helper thread frees copied attribute on NOTIFY_REMOVED message
+received from the OS kernel.  Unfortunately, it fails to check whether
+copied attribute actually exists (data.attr != NULL).  This worked
+earlier because free() checks passed pointer before actually
+attempting to release corresponding memory.  But
+__pthread_attr_destroy assumes pointer is not NULL.
+
+So passing NULL pointer to __pthread_attr_destroy will result in
+segmentation fault.  This scenario is possible if
+notification->sigev_notify_attributes == NULL (which means default
+thread attributes should be used).
