[openssl-dev] [openssl.org #4401] [PATCH] plug potential memory leak(s) in OpenSSL 1.1 pre 4 in 'ec_lib.c'

[Bill Parker via RT]

Hello All,

In reviewing code in directory 'crypto/ec', file 'ec_lib.c'', there
appears to be allocated memory which is not released when a return 0;
is encountered in some cases of OPENSSL_malloc().  The patch file below
should address/correct these minor leaks:
