--- Comment #22 from Nick Clifton <ni...@redhat.com> --- Created attachment 1083729 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1083729&action=edit Remove resource leak from binutils-th1162655.patch Note - the patch for this BZ inadvertently introduced a resource leak into the binutils sources. This leak is detected by the covscan tool. What can happen is that a buffer of 8192 bytes is allocated but not freed. This only happens when an illegal archive is being processed, and in this case the program will exit very shortly afterwards. So the resource will not prevent the proper functioning of the program on valid archives, and it will not prevent the program from reporting and exiting (cleanly) on invalid archives. Since this problem has been detected so late in the 7.2 release process, a fix for it is being delayed until 7.3. The update to fix the patch is uploaded here.
