Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): valgrind-3.21.0-2.el8.x86_64 openscap-1.3.7-1.el8.x86_64 How reproducible: deterministic Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf -y install openscap-scanner valgrind 2. dnf -y debuginfo-install openscap 3. valgrind --leak-check=full oscap oval eval rpmverifyfile.oval.xml &>valgrind.out Note: Tested on RHEL-8.9.0-20230521.41 compose, error occurs also without `--leak-check=full` parameter. File rpmverifyfile.oval.xml is attached. Actual results: valgrind errors on openscap memcheck with "unknown error code 14". Expected results: valgrind successfully performs openscap memcheck.
