EAP-TLS Memory Leak

[Alexander Bergmann]

Hi,

I'm using FreeRADIUS 2.1.1 wiht EAP-TLS for my WLAN authentication. It's 
working great and I have no authentication problems at all.

I've tested my setup with eapol_test from the wpa_supplicant package and 
used it inside an endless loop overnight and the memory usage was 100% 
stable. Then I've noticed that the FreeRADIUS memory usage increases if I 
interrupt the eapol_test tool after it sends the first RADIUS packet. This 
can be done till FreeRADIUS runs out of memory and gets an exception.

Is this a known problem?


To force the problem with eapol_test, I've inserted an 'exit(0);' inside 
the radius_client_send() function. Here's the diff:

diff -Nur wpa_supplicant-0.5.10-orig/radius_client.c wpa_supplicant-0.5.10-crash/radius_client.c

  	return res;
}
