The two memory leaks were found with the test suite running in
--enable-valgrind mode - here are the relevant error messages:
For fwknopd server GPG clean up:

There is also a new clean_exit() function that makes it easier to ensure that
resources are deallocated upon existing.
This commit does several things. First, a memory leak in fwknopd has been
fixed by ensuring to free access.conf stanzas. This bug was found with the
new test suite running in --enable-valgrind mode. Here is what some of the
valgrind output looked like to find the leak:

Second, this commit changes how fwknopd acquires packet data with
pcap_dispatch() - packets are now processed within the callback function
process_packet() that is provided to pcap_dispatch(), the global packet
counter is incremented by the return value from pcap_dispatch() (since this is
the number of packets processed per pcap loop), and there are two new
fwknopd.conf variables PCAP_DISPATCH_COUNT and PCAP_LOOP_SLEEP to control the
number of packets that pcap_dispatch() should process per loop and the number
of microseconds that fwknopd should sleep per loop respectively. Without this
change, it was fairly easy to cause fwknopd to miss packets by creating bursts
of packets that would all be processed one at time with the usleep() delay
between each. For fwknopd deployed on a busy network and with a permissive
pcap filter (i.e. something other than the default that causes fwknopd to look
at, say, TCP ACK's), this change should help.
Third, the criteria that a packet must reach before data copying into the
buffer designed for SPA processing has been tightened. A packet less than
/greater than the minimum/maximum expected sizes is ignored before data is
copied, and the base64 check is done as well.
This commit fixes several compiler warnings like the following (now that -Wall
is the default):
config_init.h:68: warning: ‘cmd_opts’ defined but not used
SPA packets can be limited from the command line. When this limit is
reached (any packet that contains application layer data and passes the
pcap filter is included in the count) then fwknopd exits.
