RE: SFL Memory Leaks

Michel,

Good catch. I verified that both are indeed memory leaks and that your modifications were appropriate. We will include these modifications in the next SFL patch or release.

Thanks,

Subject: SFL Memory Leaks

Hello Tom,

I am using SFL 2.5 with visual studio 6.0.

I had to modify SFL sources to fix some memory leaks:

sm_SignBuf.cpp Line 226:

Changed

         if (*pTmpAlg == oidDigestEncryption)
         {
             break;
         }

         if (*pTmpAlg == oidDigestEncryption)
         {
             break;
         }
         else
         {
                free(pTmpAlg);
                pTmpAlg = NULL;
         }

sm_free3_RSA.cpp Line 2123

Added

        if (NULL != pszPasswordMAC)
        {
                free(pszPasswordMAC);
                pszPasswordMAC = NULL;
        }

Could you confirm that these modifications are valid?

Thanks,
