Bug #65562 [NEW]: memory leak in zend_parse_arg

From: rrh at newrelic dot com Operating system: all PHP version: 5.5.3 Package: Performance problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:memory leak in zend_parse_arg Description: ------------ Function zend_parse_arg leaks memory, as discovered when I ran valgrind with php test cases designed to exercise a module we wrote. zend_parse_arg calls zend_parse_arg_impl. Unfortunately, not all control flow paths to the return in zend_parse_arg call efree to free up the memory allocated by zend_parse_arg_impl to hold the error string. In my case, quiet != 0, so the lone efree (which has 2 additional guards) is not called. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65562&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65562&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65562&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65562&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65562&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65562&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65562&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65562&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65562&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65562&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65562&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65562&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65562&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65562&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65562&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65562&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65562&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65562&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65562&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65562&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65562&r=mysqlcfg
