Hi, We have had the contrib/keychain-mcd code under a more thorough code review lately. And there are several issues found during that review which really needs to be improved.
Basically most of the functions handling memory management have a very ambitious coding style. The result of functions allocating memory is never checked, just presumes it is fine. That will in most scenarios work perfectly fine, until the day where one of these allocations fails and the rest of the code starts tries to use a NULL pointer instead. I have tried to get in touch with the contributor (on Cc) directly two times in April (12th and 21st) already and have not heard anything at all. We in the core team would like to see this issue resolved, but it can't drag out forever. So I propose that unless someone who is interested in this code shows up within the end of May 2017, that code is in high risk of being completely removed from our source tree. Please do get in touch ASAP if you use this code and would like to help improving it. -- kind regards, David Sommerseth OpenVPN Technologies, Inc
