in security/nss/lib/pk11wrap/pk11util.c::SECMOD_AddModule(), the call to _FindModule() returns a 'referenced' module. this return value is discarded and hence the reference count is off and the module gets leaked later during cleanup. consider adding the following change: #if 1//begin JLH fix SECMODModule * pOldModule = SECMOD_FindModule(newModule->commonName); if (pOldModule) { /* _FindModule() increased the ref count, so we need to undo it. */ SECMOD_DestroyModule(pOldModule); return SECWouldBlock; /* module already exists. */ } #else //the old way if (SECMOD_FindModule(newModule->commonName)) { return SECWouldBlock; /* module already exists. */ } #endif//end JLH fix
Need review of patch. thanks for the patch reporter.
