Subject: [2.28 COMMITTED] nscd: Deallocate existing user names in file parser
Date: Mon, 01 Jan 2018 00:00:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180814090116.A243D42928DDB@oldenburg.str.redhat.com> (raw)

This avoids a theoretical memory leak (theoretical because it depends on
multiple server-user/stat-user directives in the configuration file).

(cherry picked from commit 2d7acfac3ebf266dcbc82d0d6cc576f626953a03)

	* nscd/nscd_conf.c (nscd_parse_file): Deallocate old storage for
	server_user, stat_user.
