Subject: src/elfclassify.c: Fix memory leak in check_ar_members
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9129bee55721eafa54565ebfa23f7fee3df75e93;p=thirdparty%2Felfutils.git

src/elfclassify.c: Fix memory leak in check_ar_members

If current_path needs to be reallocated, full_path is assigned a newly
malloced buffer and then full_path is assigned to current_path.  This
leaks the previous value of full_path.

Free full_path before reassigning it.
