As `fts_transaction_commit' is a top-level plug-in hook memory allocated
on the data stack must be freed.

I don't think this is needed? Data stack is intended to be used somewhat lazily so it can leak for a little bit. It's freed before returning from mailbox_transaction_commit().

Timo, thanks for your feedback.

I've discussed with my colleague who created this patch and we came to the conclusion that this patch isn't necessary and the issue behind it needs a solution on our side (instead on Dovecot side).

Closing this PR as described above..

lib-http: guard against hshared use-after-free
6236f36 
This fixes a race condition where the http_client_host_shared_idle_timeout()
function would get called with an already freed hshared argument.

Specifically, the situation arises from the hshared idle timeout calling
http_client_host_shared_free(), which removes the timeout and then proceeds to
free the client queue.  The client queue freeing code indirectly calls
http_client_host_shared_check_idle(), which notices that there is no idle
timeout and allocates one.

The backtrace at the point of this new timeout allocation:
