There is a memory leak defect at line 1201 in the /php-src/ext/standard/streamsfuncs.c file.

Description

A pointer variable named context is defined at line 1189 in the /php-src/ext/standard/streamsfuncs.c file. At line 1197, a new dynamic memory region is allocated for context using the php_stream_context_alloc function. If the if statement at line 1200 evaluates to true, the function will return at line 1201. In this process, the dynamic memory region pointed to by context is neither used, as it is at line 1211, nor freed, resulting in a memory leak defect, as shown in the figure below.

Hi and thanks for your report. However some tests would probably have caught it already if it was an issue (e.g. stream_context_create_error), stream context destructor is automatically called in this case, false positive :).
