Description Stefan Becker 2009-05-01 14:09:59 UTC

Description of problem:

During memory leak hunting for the pidgin-sipe plugin I discovered 2 memory leaks in the libpurple MIME processing code. At least for that plugin these code paths are used a lot.

The URL points to the upstream bug report which contains a patch for the issue.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pidgin-2.5.5-1.fc11.i586

How reproducible:
always

Additional info:

This probably affects all pidgin versions in Fedora & RHEL. Please consider to apply the patch also for those releases.

Comment 1 Stefan Becker 2009-05-01 19:22:53 UTC

The patch has already been integrated into the 2.5.6 branch:

  <http://developer.pidgin.im/viewmtn/revision/info/05325ad06b473a5932ac8cecbf0f96297eb86246>

So depending on the release date this bug might just be fixed with the next version jump.

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 14:56:52 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.
