[OpenCA-Devel] [Patch] Fix memory leaks in DBI and XS Openssl

[Carlos V. <car...@ni...>]

Hi,

Here are two patches for openca-base 1.3.0.

They fix memory leaks in:
1. DBI simple bug with debug sub adding strings but never freeing
(printing).
2. Several leaks in XS Openssl.xs. Structures didn't have any destructor
(DESTROY) function and some frees were missing, so any call to Openssl
was really a leak for sure.

These leak fixes are very important for auto daemons, like autoCRL,
where I found 1 autoCRL process eating 50% of my machine memory over
time......


The Openssl.xs patch is good using openssl 1.0.1 but not sure if it
works in 0.9.8 without touching it a bit, as I only used 1.0.1 versions
while searching for the leaks.
Included in this, there is a new ppport.h file, created with a recent
perl module. Included in openca package was very old.

IMHO these patches are a must for a stable OpenCA.

PS: I know Max is in NY now... but is he still online? There are a lot
of patches that should be commited.

Carlos Velasco
