Use after free if FAMMonitorDirectory fails
=============================================

CVE-2013-4560 [1] was assigned to this bug.

 Description
-------------

If the "fam" is enabled:

    server.stat-cache-engine = "fam"

and there are directories reachable from configured doc roots and aliases on 
which FAMMonitorDirectory fails (probably depends on file system), a remote 
client could trigger a DoS.

This bug was found with the clang static analyzer.

 Detailed analysis
-------------------

If FAMMonitorDirectory fails, the memory intended to store the context is 
released; some lines below the "version" compoment of that context is read.
Reading invalid data doesn't matter, but the memory access could trigger a 
segfault.

 Affected versions
-------------------

All versions before 1.4.33.
