Created attachment 531391 [details] git patch file (master) Bug Description: sasl_map_domap allocates strings for "base" and "filter" in it; the caller ids_sasl_user_to_entry releases them only when the function returns non-0 regexmatch (matched), but even if the return value is 0 (did not match), the strings are allocated. Fix Description: underlying function sasl_map_check frees "base" and "filter" if mapping did not match.

Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Previously, allocated memory was not correctly released in the underlying code for the SASL GSSAPI authentication method, when checking the Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) identity mappings. This problem could cause memory leaks when processing SASL bind requests, which eventually caused the LDAP server to terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. This update adds function calls that are needed to free allocated memory correctly. Memory leaks no longer occur and the LDAP server no longer crashes in this scenario.
