      –
      Original description:
      The upstream implementation of qsort and qsort_r improves hardening against buggy comparison functions, on the code path taken after a malloc failure.

      Changes from 2.39 at least up to and including this commit should be included:

      commit dfa3394a605c8f6f25e4f827789bc89eca1d206c

    qsort: Fix a typo causing unnecessary malloc/free (BZ 31276)

      We should consider backporting this change into Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.10 (after RHEL-24168 has completed).
