In another bug we had this question from me, and comment from Alan Bateman :

Btw. while adjusting Java_sun_nio_ch_sctp_SctpChannelImpl_receive0 , I started to wonder what happens to the allocated memory in the same file in handleSendFailed ( if ((addressP = malloc(dataLength)) == NULL) ) in early return cases incl. the CHECK_NULL , is there some deallocation missing there too ?
-----------------------------
Yes, the error paths in handleSendFailed should be looked at. If NewDirectByteBuffer or recvmsg fails then addressP needs to be freed. Furthermore, if the NewObject fails and bufferObj != NULL then the memory for the direct buffer will need to be freed too (as JNI NewDirectByteBuffer does not setup a cleaner).
--------------------------------
So the coding should be adjusted to remove potential leaks.
