Subject: [PATCH BlueZ v1 3/3] sdp: Fix memory leak when freeing alternates
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 13:47:31 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260814174731.1441738-3-luiz.dentz@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260814174731.1441738-1-luiz.dentz@gmail.com>
From: Luiz Augusto von Dentz <luiz.von.dentz@intel.com>
sdp_data_alloc_with_length() stores the members of SDP_ALT8, SDP_ALT16
and SDP_ALT32 in val.dataseq, exactly like it does for the SDP_SEQ8,
SDP_SEQ16 and SDP_SEQ32 sequences.
sdp_data_free() only calls data_seq_free() for the sequences though, so
freeing an alternate frees the alternate itself and leaks every one of
its members, along with anything they own in turn.
Free the members of alternates as well, and add a test parsing a record
containing an alternate, which leaks without this change:
209 (48 direct, 161 indirect) bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost
at calloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:1678)
by sdp_data_alloc_with_length (sdp.c:350)
by sdp_data_alloc (sdp.c:486)
by sdp_xml_parse_int (sdp-xml.c:243)
by sdp_xml_parse_datatype (sdp-xml.c:421)
by element_start (sdp-xml.c:507)
