decode_ec_params allocates memory and returns it. The caller (nsKeygenFormProcessor::GetPublicKey) never frees it, but it does pass it in to PK11_GenerateKeyPairWithFlags. It may be that the memory is reachable from what PK11_GenerateKeyPairWithFlags returns and is appropriately cleaned up when that gets cleaned up, but I doubt it.
Looking closer (and consulting similar code), it appears this memory is in fact leaked.
Summary: investigate if the calls to decode_ec_params in nsKeygenHandler.cpp leak memory → the memory returned by calls to decode_ec_params in nsKeygenHandler.cpp is leaked
