https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9696 Issue ID: 9696 Summary: OpenSSL implementation of LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_PEERCERT leaks memory Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.4.57 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: libraries Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: cheimes(a)redhat.com Target Milestone: --- The OpenSSL implementation of ldap_get_option() LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_PEERCERT leaks memory. The internal function tlso_session_peercert() uses SSL_get_peer_certificate() to access the server certificate. SSL_get_peer_certificate() increases the reference counter of the peer cert by one. The code is missing a X509_free() call to decref the internal reference counter by one. I also recommend that you check the return value of SSL_get_peer_certificate() for NULL. There are cases when a TLS session does not have access to a peer certificate, e.g. session resumption.
