Issue #9743 has been updated by Vit Ondruch.


This is causing test suite timeout on Fedora Rawhide ARM builder :/

----------------------------------------
repeated calls to `pub_key.verify(digest, signature, data)` leaks memory. 

from what I can gather from the openssl documentation, there seems to be a missing call to `EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup()`

FILE: ossl_pkey.c 

~~~C
326    EVP_VerifyUpdate(&ctx, RSTRING_PTR(data), RSTRING_LEN(data));
327    switch (EVP_VerifyFinal(&ctx, (unsigned char *)RSTRING_PTR(sig), RSTRING_LENINT(sig), pkey)) {
328    case 0:
~~~

from the openssl docs:

http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/EVP_VerifyInit.html

> The call to `EVP_VerifyFinal()` internally finalizes a copy of the digest context. This means that calls to `EVP_VerifyUpdate()` and `EVP_VerifyFinal()` can be called later to digest and verify additional data.
> Since only a copy of the digest context is ever finalized the context must be cleaned up after use by calling `EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup()` or a memory leak will occur.
