Fixes ten memory-leak categories identified by static analysis and updates Newtonsoft.Json to address a known vulnerability. No new public APIs are added; the changes only add proper disposal of existing resources and correct one async-return bug.

Changes

Memory Leak Fixes

  • ChannelBase: unsubscribe Transport.Closing event in Dispose to prevent channels from being kept alive through event delegates when transports outlive channels.
  • CloseWithTimeoutAsync (TcpTransport, PipeTcpTransport, WebSocketTransport, PipeWebSocketTransport): made async/await so the CancellationTokenSource using scope spans the full operation and is not disposed while the task is still running.
  • EnvelopePipe.Dispose(): added missing _semaphore.Dispose().
  • SynchronizedTransportDecorator: implement IDisposable to dispose two SemaphoreSlim instances that were never disposed.
  • TransportBase: implement IDisposable (protected virtual Dispose(bool) / public Dispose()) to dispose _openCloseSemaphore; all concrete subclasses (TcpTransport, PipeTcpTransport, WebSocketTransport, PipeWebSocketTransport, RedisTransport) call base.Dispose(disposing).
  • TcpTransportListener / PipeTcpTransportListener: implement IDisposable to dispose the SemaphoreSlim.
  • RedisTransportListener.Dispose(): also dispose the SemaphoreSlim (previously only the connection multiplexer was disposed).
  • HttpContextChannel: implement IDisposable to dispose _sendSemaphore.
  • BufferedChannelListener.Start(): dispose the previous cancelled CancellationTokenSource before replacing it with a new one.

Security Fix

  • Newtonsoft.Json: updated from 9.0.1 to 13.0.1 in Lime.Client.Windows (packages.config and Lime.Client.Windows.csproj) to address the improper handling of exceptional conditions vulnerability (patched in 13.0.1). All other projects were already on 13.0.1.

Testing

  • All changed files build with 0 errors.
  • Lime.Protocol.UnitTests: 527 passed / 1 pre-existing failure (a timing-sensitive ResendMessages test that also fails on main without these changes).
  • CodeQL scan: 0 alerts.

- ChannelBase: unsubscribe Transport.Closing event handler in Dispose to
  prevent the channel being kept alive through the transport's event list
- RemotePingChannelModule: wait up to 5 s for the background ping task to
  complete in Dispose so the task never outlives the module
- EnvelopePipe: dispose the internal SemaphoreSlim in Dispose
- CloseWithTimeoutAsync (TcpTransport, PipeTcpTransport, WebSocketTransport,
  PipeWebSocketTransport): make async/await so the CancellationTokenSource
  is not disposed while the close task is still running
- TransportBase: implement IDisposable and dispose the _openCloseSemaphore;
  add base.Dispose(disposing) calls in all concrete subclasses
  (TcpTransport, PipeTcpTransport, WebSocketTransport, PipeWebSocketTransport,
  RedisTransport)
- SynchronizedTransportDecorator: implement IDisposable to dispose the two
  SemaphoreSlim instances it owns
- TcpTransportListener / PipeTcpTransportListener: implement IDisposable to
  dispose the SemaphoreSlim
- RedisTransportListener: also dispose the SemaphoreSlim in Dispose
- HttpContextChannel: implement IDisposable to dispose the SemaphoreSlim
- BufferedChannelListener: dispose the previous (cancelled) CTS at the top
  of Start() before replacing it with a new one

The synchronous Wait() could block the calling thread for up to 5 s during
disposal. The original CancelAndDispose() already signals the background task
to stop; the task itself holds no resources that need explicit cleanup.

@copilot Update Newtonsoft.Json package to version 13.0.1 to fix some vulnerability issues.

Done in commit e5c6065. The SDK-style projects (Lime.Protocol, Lime.Transport.WebSocket, Lime.Transport.Redis, and the two test projects) were already on 13.0.1. Updated the legacy Lime.Client.Windows project — both packages.config (version 9.0.113.0.1) and the <Reference> HintPath in the .csproj (assembly version 9.0.0.013.0.0.0, path updated to Newtonsoft.Json.13.0.1\lib\net45\).
