There is a memory leak defect at line 312 in the file openssl/test/v3ext.c.

At line 233 in the file openssl/test/v3ext.c, a pointer named f1 is defined. This pointer allocates a dynamic memory region at line 262 through the function IPAddressFamily_new. When the if statement at line 262 returns false, it indicates successful allocation of dynamic memory for f1. Subsequently, at line 265, the program allocates a dynamic memory region for the ipAddressChoice member of pointer f1 through the function IPAddressChoice_new. If the if statement at line 265 returns true, the program will jump to the end label at line 308 from line 266, thereby bypassing the IPAddressFamily_free(f1) operation at line 281. The end label does not release the dynamic memory region pointed to by f1, thus constituting a memory leak defect. The diagram below illustrates the detailed path of the defect:https://github.com/LuMingYinDetect/openssl_defects/blob/main/openssl_2.png

Note: there are two proposed fixes to this, #23906 which seemingly has a potential for double-free, and #23991 which appears quite complicated for what it's trying to do.
