As one of its arguments, the virQEMUCapsProbeFullDeprecatedProperties() gets a pointer to GStrv (a string list), which it may eventually replace. It's single caller (virQEMUCapsProbeQMPHostCPU()) passes a string list indeed. Now, when replacing one string list with another plain g_free() is not enough as we need to free individual strings too. ==13573== 34 bytes in 8 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 271 of 576 ==13573== at 0x4844878: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:446) ==13573== by 0x51789D1: g_malloc (in /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.7800.6) ==13573== by 0x5193E82: g_strdup (in /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.7800.6) ==13573== by 0x4997F73: g_strdup_inline (gstrfuncs.h:321) ==13573== by 0x4997F73: virJSONValueArrayToStringList (virjson.c:1296) ==13573== by 0x5027CF7: qemuMonitorJSONParseCPUModelExpansion (qemu_monitor_json.c:5139) ==13573== by 0x50281C9: qemuMonitorJSONGetCPUModelExpansion (qemu_monitor_json.c:5245) ==13573== by 0x501044F: qemuMonitorGetCPUModelExpansion (qemu_monitor.c:3261) ==13573== by 0x4F190D0: virQEMUCapsProbeQMPHostCPU (qemu_capabilities.c:3227) ==13573== by 0x4F2145E: virQEMUCapsInitQMPMonitor (qemu_capabilities.c:5758) ==13573== by 0x10FFF8: testQemuCaps (qemucapabilitiestest.c:111) ==13573== by 0x110B53: virTestRun (testutils.c:143) ==13573== by 0x11063E: doCapsTest (qemucapabilitiestest.c:200) Fixes: 51c098347d7f2af9b4386ac0adc4431997d06f3d Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@xxxxxxxxxx> --- src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c b/src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c index eda3e6a4df..27a283cff6 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c @@ -3176,7 +3176,7 @@ virQEMUCapsProbeFullDeprecatedProperties(qemuMonitor *mon, return -1; if (propsInfo && propsInfo->deprecated_props) { - g_free(*props); + g_strfreev(*props); *props = g_steal_pointer(&propsInfo->deprecated_props); } -- 2.45.2
