Comment 1 Rohit Keshri 2024-01-19 07:55:50 UTC 
Created yasm tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: epel-all [bug 2259118]
Affects: fedora-all [bug 2259119]
Comment 3 Nick Clifton 2024-01-19 10:42:56 UTC 
Note - per yasm's own security.md document only bugs that cause corrupt output are considered to be security issues.  Since this bug is just a memory leak - and not a very big one at that, just 49 bytes - this issue should not be a CVE, and definitely should not have a medium priority.
Comment 4 Sandipan Roy 2024-01-19 12:03:57 UTC 
Red Hat Product Security does not consider this to be a vulnerability.
