Debugging memory hogging application in embedded linux environment

I have an embedded device running a C/C++ application on Linux. There is an issue with the software that is causing the application to hog memory until the Linux OS kills the app.

Below is the output from the kernel when the app dies.

Can I use this information to debug my code? Which information in the errors is most useful to get started in trying to figure out why the app is leaking?
