Subject: [PATCH] http: fix memory leak in fetch_and_setup_pack_index()
Date: Tue, 19 May 2026 16:54:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <agx5tblaCZNsYEBq@lorenzo-VM> (raw)
Inside the function `fetch_and_setup_pack_index()`, when the pack
obtained using `fetch_pack_index()` fails to be verified by
`parse_pack_index()`, the function returns without closing and freeing
said pack.
Fix this by calling `close_pack_index()` to munmap the index file for
the leaking pack (which might have been mmapped by `fetch_pack_index()`
or `verify_pack_index()`), and then free it.
