Description Zdenek Dohnal 2020-04-08 10:50:27 UTC 
When valgrind is run on cups-browsed daemon from cups-filters package in test http://pkgs.devel.redhat.com/cgit/tests/cups-filters/tree/Regression/bz1811190-cups-browsed-leaks-memory , it reports memory leak in CUPS library - specifically in _ppdOpen().

'string' variable in question is overwritten without freeing the pointer first.


The issue is fixed in upstream but I forgot to backport those two lines during https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1775668
