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)
