Subject: [PATCH 8/8] pack-bitmap: prevent pattern leak on pseudo-merge re-assignment
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 19:57:01 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8f4e017095210afb79e547832f50bc8fb51017bc.1776124589.git.me@ttaylorr.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1776124588.git.me@ttaylorr.com>

When "bitmapPseudoMerge.*.pattern" appears more than once for the same
group, `pseudo_merge_config()` frees the old `regex_t *` pointer
but does not call `regfree()` on it first. This leaks whatever internal
state `regcomp()` allocated.

The final cleanup path in `pseudo_merge_group_release()` does call
`regfree()` before `free()`, so only the intermediate replacement is
affected.

Fix this by guarding the replacement with a NULL check and calling
`regfree()` before `free()` when the pointer is non-NULL.
