Unfortunately this didn't solve my problem, but at least I narrowed it down. The leaks are caused by my call to "SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations", which is essentially "X509_STORE_load_locations". I found that function in x509_d2.c and I find it suspicious that this function invokes exactly 4 function calls and leads to 4 memory leaks. Therefore I assume that I need to undo all of these function calls when exiting, which are: - 2x X509_STORE_add_lookup - 1x X509_LOOKUP_load_file - 1x X509_LOOKUP_add_dir How can I clean up everything those 4 functions allocate?
