--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
Unfortunately, it's not possible to safely free this here as
pam_putenv() is underspecified: it is not guaranteed to either copy the
environment it is setting or take over ownership of it. The safest
behaviour here is just to accept the one-time leak :(

I have added a comment to explain this in auth-pam.c
