Sure, in fact I think we could just do:

-	snprintf(algo_hash, algo_hash_len, "%s:%s", algo_name, hash);
-	audit_log_untrustedstring(ab, algo_hash);
+	audit_log_untrustedstring(ab, algo_name);
+	audit_log_format(ab, ":");
+	audit_log_untrustedstring(ab, hash);

and get rid of the allocation entirely. I'll test and make sure it
works and then re-send.

Cheers,

Tycho
