Hi all,
I am using X509_STORE and X509_LOOKUP to verify the certificate and
its chain.
But at the end when I do X509_STORE_free(store) and
X509_LOOKUP_free(lookup), it is also doing free of the X509*
certificate which I added.
But I don't want that, because after that when I immediately try to
access X509* certificate for further operation, then it results in
core dump
And if I don't do X509_STORE_free() then it will leave the memory leak.
Let me know how to resolve this and if I misunderstood something.
X509 objects (and many other objects in the API) are
reference counted.
Increment the reference count of each certificate as
you add it to the X509_STORE, this should make the
X509 object stay around after X509_STORE_free() frees
it.
However there is a shortage of documentation on the
reference counting functions involved.
Enjoy
Jakob
