More details: in mysql_upgrade.c it seems that handle_options() is failing thus goto error; gets executed. in error: Line 645 it's trying to free the string using dynstr_free(). The problem is that the string has not been initialized yet using init_dynamic_string() in line 482 because handle_options() gets called before init_dynamic_string() We can either move init_dynamic_string() above handle_options() so dynstr_free() will free a string that has been initialized or adding cmdline.str = NULL; below DYNAMIC_STRING cmdline; Honestly, I don't know how will this affect the execution of mysql_upgrade but adding cmdline.str = NULL; indeed solved the problem for me.
