Hi,

fuzzing glob.c immediately discovered a leak.

At ~L600 in glob.c, 'dirname' is heap allocated.
It is free'd at label 'out', but some code paths directly return without
jumping there.

Attached is a patch fixing the issue for me, but just take it as a proof of
concept. You might prefer a different approach.

Regards, Tim

glob.c is taken from glibc, right? Have you investigated whether these problems have been reported and/or fixed in glibc?
