Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

get_bcn() resource leak patch

A possible patch fixing the described defect.

Comment 4 Petr Šabata 2011-08-15 07:18:12 UTC
Patch applied in CVS, lldpad-0.9.43-3.el6.

Comment 7 Pavel Raiskup 2011-10-27 12:41:48 UTC
I hope this bug was about Red Hat patches and mentioned error was successfully removed already in lldpad-0.9.43-3.el6 and is not present even in lldpad-0.9.43-10.el6:

http://releng-test1.englab.brq.redhat.com/covscan/task/209/

So it looks it could be switched to VERIFIED now. 

--- 

As you can see from new log, there are lot of similar resource leaks in original source in nltest.c. If this should be really repaired, we could rather clone this bug for RHEL 6.3 or maybe consult it with upstream but it is not going to be about this #720730. Moreover it looks that this source is not for regular use (maybe for testing reasons?..) so switching to verified should be good enough.
