In the current memory management the caller wasn't responsible for freeing memory they allocate. The ngap_gNB_encode_pdu function was taking ownership of PDU contents by calling ASN_STRUCT_FREE_CONTENTS_ONLY, while callers also expected to manage the same memory. This created unclear ownership semantics and potential double-free bugs. - Remove ASN_STRUCT_FREE_CONTENTS_ONLY from ngap_gNB_encode_pdu to prevent double-free - Remove unnecessary ASN_STRUCT_FREE when encode function returns NULL - Add proper ASN_STRUCT_FREE cleanup for heap-allocated PDUs in ngap_gNB.c functions - Add ASN_STRUCT_FREE_CONTENTS_ONLY cleanup for stack-allocated PDUs in NAS and context management functions - Ensure consistent memory cleanup patterns across all NGAP encoder callers - Fix potential memory leaks in all ngap_gNB_encode_pdu call sites This prevents double-free bugs and ensures proper cleanup of ASN.1 structures in both heap and stack allocation scenarios.

How to get support from the OAI Community
You can ask your question on the mailing lists.
Your email should contain below information:
- A clear subject in your email.
- For all the queries there should be [Query] in the subject of the email and for problems there should be [Problem].
- In case of a problem, add a small description.
- Do not share any photos unless you want to share a diagram.
- OAI gNB/DU/CU/CU-CP/CU-UP configuration file in
.confformat only. - Logs of OAI gNB/DU/CU/CU-CP/CU-UP in
.logor.txtformat only. - In case your question is related to performance, include a small description of the machine (Operating System, Kernel version, CPU, RAM and networking card) and diagram of your testing environment.
- Known/open issues are present on GitLab, so keep checking.
Always remember a structured email will help us understand your issues quickly.
