From 0bd9cfebc1c91e1066e56d6261b99691b9df6008 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: longlong yan Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2026 15:27:41 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] selftests/net: ovpn: fix getaddrinfo memory leak in ovpn_parse_remote() The ovpn_parse_remote() function has two memory management issues: 1. When both 'host' and 'vpnip' are non-NULL, the first getaddrinfo() allocation is leaked because 'result' is overwritten by the second getaddrinfo() call without freeing the first allocation. 2. When both 'host' and 'vpnip' are NULL, 'result' is an uninitialized stack variable passed to freeaddrinfo(), which is undefined behavior. Fix by initializing 'result' to NULL and calling freeaddrinfo() after the first getaddrinfo() result is consumed.
