Errata: Memory leak in pam_set_item()

Date:: 2017-02-19

Affects:: Ourouparia, Nummularia, Micrampelis and Lycopsida

Description:: In OpenPAM Lycopsida, code was added to the {{{pam_set_item()}}} function to disallow changing the value of the {{{PAM_SERVICE}}} item, which contains the service name. An unintended side effect of this is that {{{pam_end}}} is no longer able to free the memory allocated to hold the service name. As a consequence, each PAM session leaks a small amount of memory.

Workaround:: None.

Fix:: Apply r918.
