Subject: [PATCH v3 9/9] pack-bitmap: prevent pattern leak on pseudo-merge re-assignment
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 20:47:12 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9b17dab2cf745b78eae4c0da2cc2c0e79b7c0b3c.1778546804.git.me@ttaylorr.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1778546804.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.
