From: Geliang Tang <tanggeliang@xxxxxxxxxx> The strdup() function returns a pointer to a new string which is a duplicate of the string "input". Memory for the new string is obtained with malloc(), and need to be freed with free(). This patch adds these missing "free(input)" in parse_stats() to avoid memory leak in veristat.c.
