Subject: [PATCH BlueZ v2 2/4] sdp-xml: Fix leaking the parse stack on malformed input
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 17:00:36 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260817210038.1839617-2-luiz.dentz@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260817210038.1839617-1-luiz.dentz@gmail.com>

From: Luiz Augusto von Dentz <luiz.von.dentz@intel.com>

sdp_xml_parse_record() frees its context but never the elements left on
ctx_data->stack_head.

element_end() returns early without popping the stack when it rejects a
document, for instance on a mismatched </sequence> close, so a malformed
record leaves its elements behind and they are never freed.

Free the remaining stack elements before returning. Found with the
compute-seq-size-type-confusion.xml test:

56 (direct) + 1,072 (indirect) bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost
   at calloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:1678)
   by sdp_xml_data_alloc (sdp-xml.c:73)
   by element_start (sdp-xml.c:473)
   by g_markup_parse_context_parse (gmarkup.c:1369)
   by sdp_xml_parse_record (sdp-xml.c:696)
