<a id="user-content-description-of-problem" class="anchor" href="#description-of-problem" aria-hidden="true"></a>Description of problem:</h2>
<p dir="auto">The documentation for <code>gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn2()</code> and <code>gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn2()</code> does not clearly specify what to do with the buffer that is returned. Yes it says it is allocated, but it does not specify whose responsibility it is to free it, nor does it specify exactly <em>how</em> it is to be freed.</p>
<p dir="auto">This will easily lead to applications ending up leaking memory.</p>

<p dir="auto">I checked the current live docs here: <a href="https://gnutls.org/reference/gnutls-x509.html#gnutls-x509-crt-get-dn2" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://gnutls.org/reference/gnutls-x509.html#gnutls-x509-crt-get-dn2</a></p>
