What the listing says

- validate chain() at lines 146-157 returns early on check expiry() or verify signature() failure without a unified exit path; the function has no goto cleanup pattern, so any future resource allocated before the loop (or between checks) will leak on error - The early return at line 161 when find issuer() returns NULL
