Hi,
latest comment in PR 53435 shows that memory leak in mod_ssl which
happens during graceful restarts can be caused by r101624. Since this
commit is 11 years old, I wanted to ask people here, if following is
still true with current OpenSSL:
@@ -255,7 +255,11 @@ static apr_status_t ssl_cleanup_pre_config(void *data)
#endif
#endif
ERR_remove_state(0);
- ERR_free_strings();
+
+ /* Don't call ERR_free_strings here; ERR_load_*_strings only
+ * actually load the error strings once per process due to static
+ * variable abuse in OpenSSL. */
+
/*
* TODO: determine somewhere we can safely shove out diagnostics
* (when enabled) at this late stage in the game:
Last comment in PR 53435 showed that leaks disappeared after reverting
this patch and it does not seem to break anything here.
Regards,
Jan Kaluza
