Hi,

The memory leaks happen when cmdline parsing fail, right before calling badusage(), which calls exit(EXIT_FAILURE). Thus from what I can see, the impact of the memory leak is nonexistent, because the process is terminating anyway. Is there something I am missing, or should this CVE be rejected?
