Hi David,
After reading this
[http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/downloads/publications/hsm/hsm_node21.html] ,
it occurs to me that you might need EVP_cleanup() too. You might
consider his clean_up() routine in general, or at least consider his
comments on it.
I think it is true to say that for every function in openSSL that sets
up structures etc there is a corresponding free function.
Regards,
Jeremy

Hi,
I'm using tn3270 sessions running over SSL. I may have up to 124
sessions activated concurrently, although I plan to get up to 250
sessions at some point.
Whenever the sessions are stopped and restarted, I notice
intermittently that memory grows in multiples of 4K bytes.
I'm running on AIX 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 and using openssl-0.9.8l.
There doesn't appear to be an obvious memory leak in either my
application or the OpenSSL stuff (all memory allocated when the
sessions are started are freed when the sessions are stopped).
Here's a summary of the code structure:
SSL_library_init();
meth = TLSv1_client_method();
RAND_seed();
ctx = SSL_CTX_new(meth);
while ([some telnet connection wants to do SSL])
{
ssl = SSL_new(ctx);
SSL_set_fd()
SSL_set_cipher_list();
SSL_set_connect_state();
SSL_connect();
do SSL_read(), SSL_write()
SSL_shutdown();
close FD;
SSL_free();
CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data();
}
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David
