Hi, there.

There is a memory leak in file binutils/nm.c, get_data function.

Here is the reproducing environment and procedure:

Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
Release:	16.04
Codename:	xenial
gcc:            5.4.0

compilation:
CFLAGS="-fsanitize=address,undefined" ./configure

run:
./nm-new -C -a -l --synthetic poc

Here is the error message:
