Requesting backport of read_key_file memory leak fix to 2.4

[Sorah Fukumori]

Hello,

Can the commit 137481fa1002c417cd2c0661b9eefd893b0149d3 have a review
for backport to the stable branch (STABLE-BRANCH-2-4)?
This bug can be reproduced on 2.4.8, and I'd like to get it fixed on
2.4 before it reaches EOL.

# I am unsure of a formalized way to request backports, pardon me if
I'm doing it wrong.

Thanks,
Sorah

Thank you, good catch.  I applied it to master, in the commit:
