When allocating a EVP context, it would have been possible to leak some memory allocated directly by OpenSSL, that PostgreSQL lost track of if the initialization of the context allocated failed. The cleanup can be done with EVP_MD_CTX_destroy(). Note that EVP APIs exist since OpenSSL 0.9.7 and we have in the tree equivalent implementations for older versions since ce9b75d (code removed with 9b7cd59a as of 10~). However, in 9.5 and 9.6, the existing code makes use of EVP_MD_CTX_destroy() and EVP_MD_CTX_create() without an equivalent implementation when building the tree with OpenSSL 0.9.6 or older, meaning that this code is in reality broken with such versions since it got introduced in e2838c5. As we have heard no complains about that, it does not seem worth bothering with in 9.5 and 9.6, so I have left that out for simplicity.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
