Title:
  kernel oops suffers from memory leak and unchecked heap allocations

Status in “kerneloops” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I run cppcheck on kerneloops and found a few issues:

  * A memory leak in writefunction()
  * Various unchecked heap allocations - allocs that fail return null causing null pointer dereferencing and hence segfaults
