memory leak in openssl

[Vivek Subbarao]

Hi,

 

I am using openssl 0.9.8e that comes along with the linux rhel 5 u3 OS.
We have a client server architecture where both the client and server
use openssl for communication. When i run my server through valgrind i
get the following error messages. Please do advice me on what i need to
do to get rid of them.

 

18,698 bytes in 1 blocks are still reachable in loss record 618 of 618

==5253==    at 0x4A05809: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:149)

==5253==    by 0x359E6DAB51: CRYPTO_malloc (in
/lib64/libcrypto.so.0.9.8e)

==5253==    by 0x35A2821991: ssl3_setup_buffers (in
/lib64/libssl.so.0.9.8e)

==5253==    by 0x35A28229D5: ssl23_get_client_hello (in
/lib64/libssl.so.0.9.8e)

==5253==    by 0x35A2822CF8: ssl23_accept (in /lib64/libssl.so.0.9.8e)

==5253==    by 0x40B558: main (server.cpp:1110)

 

I do cleanup when my server exits. Here is my cleanup code

ERR_free_strings();

ENGINE_cleanup();

EVP_cleanup();

CONF_modules_finish();

CONF_modules_free();

CONF_modules_unload(1);

CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data();

 

 

Thank You
