For the life of me, i cannot figure it out ... i just write a simple program that has the rte_eal_init + rte_eal_cleanup and i get the following error (also tried helloworld from examples, with same results):

I get memory from rte_malloc and don't free it and I still get the above report only, I do not get any report from the memory I leaked intentionally ... no difference what so ever .... I tried the same with the helloworld example and I get the same results ....

I experienced the same issue recently on Fedora 36.
I did not investigate.

I think I waived this warning, by setting
ASAN_OPTIONS="use_sigaltstack=0" in the environment.
HTH.
