Memory leak in enum_ipv4_ipv6_interface (ip_helper_win32.c) (thanks Andrey Mamchur for the report)

Description

When local buffer length is less than what is required by GetAdapterAddresses(), function enum_ipv4_ipv6_interface() does't free the temporary buffer.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Make local buffer 1 byte length.
  2. Call enum_ipv4_ipv6_interface()
static pj_status_t enum_ipv4_ipv6_interface(int af,
                        unsigned *p_cnt,
                        pj_sockaddr ifs[])
{
    pj_uint8_t buffer[600]; // Change buffer length to 1.
    IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES *adapter = (IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES*)buffer;
    ULONG size = sizeof(buffer);
    ULONG flags;
    unsigned i;
    DWORD rc;

    flags = GAA_FLAG_SKIP_FRIENDLY_NAME |
        GAA_FLAG_SKIP_DNS_SERVER |
        GAA_FLAG_SKIP_MULTICAST;

    rc = MyGetAdapterAddresses(af, flags, NULL, adapter, &size);
    if (rc != ERROR_SUCCESS) {
      if (rc == ERROR_BUFFER_OVERFLOW) {
        /* Retry with larger memory size */
        adapter = (IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES*) malloc(size); //  <==== Memory allocated
        if (adapter != NULL)
          rc = MyGetAdapterAddresses(af, flags, NULL, adapter, &size);
      }

      if (rc != ERROR_SUCCESS) {
        if (adapter != (IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES*)buffer)
        free(adapter);
        return PJ_RETURN_OS_ERROR(rc);
      }
    }

    /* Reset result */
    pj_bzero(ifs, sizeof(ifs[0]) * (*p_cnt));

    /* Enumerate interface */
    for (i=0; i<*p_cnt && adapter; adapter = adapter->Next) { //  <====  Condition adapter == NULL break loop

             .... 
    }

    if (adapter != (IP_ADAPTER_ADDRESSES*)buffer)
       free(adapter); // <==== Leak! adapter == NULL

    *p_cnt = i;
    return (*p_cnt) ? PJ_SUCCESS : PJ_ENOTFOUND;
}

Thank you Andrey Mamchur for the report
