Minor bug fixes for socket.c
While running a static code analysis tool (Parfait) on fetchmail, it found some bugs: Error: Memory leak (CWE 401) Memory leak of pointer 'plugin_copy' allocated with malloc((plugin_copy_len + 1)) at line 137 of components/fetchmail/fetchmail-6.3.22/socket.c in function 'parse_plugin'. 'plugin_copy' allocated at line 107 with malloc((plugin_copy_len + 1)). plugin_copy leaks when plugin_copy_offset >= plugin_copy_len at line 114. Error: Null pointer dereference (CWE 476) Read from null pointer 'argvec' at line 189 of components/fetchmail/fetchmail-6.3.22/socket.c in function 'handle_plugin'. Function 'parse_plugin' may return constant 'NULL' at line 137, called at line 188. Null pointer introduced at line 137 in function 'parse_plugin'. at line 190 of components/fetchmail/fetchmail-6.3.22/socket.c in function 'handle_plugin'. Function 'parse_plugin' may return constant 'NULL' at line 137, called at line 188. Null pointer introduced at line 137 in function 'parse_plugin'. (I realize these are on 6.3.22; I checked and verified that this portion of the code is the same in 6.3.24.) The attached patch fixes each of these. (Note by Matthias Andree: The NULL pointer dereference fix does not require error reporting, because parse_plugin() will already have reported the out-of-memory error that causes the NULL to be returned.)
