Hi all!
We’re using Asterisk v18.11.3 with RedHat 8.5 and we’re seeing a memory leak.
To make calls, we use ARI requests with Content-Type: application/json
Memory leaks when creating a channel with variables
[Dec 8 14:03:38] DEBUG[664032] http.c: HTTP Request URI is /ari/channels/create?endpoint=PJSIP%2F8707XXXYYYY%40outbound_trunk&app=test&channelId=20&api_key=asterisk:asterisk

I re-built Asterix with the MALLOC_DEBUG flag and see that the memory is leaking to json.c
asterisk -rx “memory show summary” | grep json
2056 bytes in 18 allocations in file json.c
asterisk -rx “memory show summary” | grep json
3800 bytes in 31 allocations in file json.c
Our issue is similar to [ASTERISK-27305] res_ari: Memory leaks in ARI when using Content-Type: application/json - Digium/Asterisk JIRA
The patch provided in ASTERISK-27305 is already contained in the v18.11.3 version code. But the memory is still leaking.
If make an ARI request with with Content-Type: text/plain, the memory does not leak.
We call intensively and have to restart the asterisk service every night.
Is there a asterisk version that won’t leak memory? Or is there a patch for version 18.11.3?
We are seeing the same issue in version 18.15.1
I would appreciate any help with this issue
