Description Ted Kremenek 2005-11-04 18:02:52 AEDT 
In the function getrrsetbyname...

memory allocated by the call to parse_dns_response (which calls calloc):

        /* parse result */
        response = parse_dns_response(answer, length);

... appears to be leaked on all paths in this function.

sync getrrsetbyname.c

This can be resolved by syncing our compat code to OpenBSD's latest version of getrrsetbyname(), which already includes fixes for these leaks.

sync applied and will be in 4.3p1, thanks for the report.
