Memory leak in liblunicode (ITS#2126)



Full_Name: Timofey B. Nickonov
Version: 2.1.4
OS: solaris-2.8/sparc
URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/021008-perece.patch
Submission from: (NULL) (212.44.140.14)


slapd process grows permanently when doing massive searches (searches returning
more than 1000 records).
I have located where problem comes from, but patch referenced is only
"quickfix"
making opelnlap-2.1.x usable in environments like mine...
actually liblunicode needs slightly more fixing/redesigning, because
constraints
like "*out = (unsigned long *) realloc(*out, size * sizeof(**out))"
(ucdata.c from 2.1.4, line 918) can not be considered correct.
Imagine we have temporary lack of free memory on server. then realloc returns
NULL _without_freeing_ original *out... we leak that block at this time...
also, uccanoncompatdecomp (and uccanondecomp, stubbing to it) returns -1
in several error conditions, but in UTF8bvnormalize we call uccanondecomp
(ucstr.c from 2.1.4, line 215) without checking return code...
Anyway, the patch solves main problem - server no longer eats giant amounts
of memory (at least if solaris libc is patched to -30, but this is a different
story). debugging performed on version 2.1.4, and patch made against it,
but i notice that ucstr.c is same in current cvs at moment i write this,
so i think in 2.1.5 it same too.
