Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Memory corrupted

[Akos Vandra <axos88@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

Figured it out, however this is a bug in wireshark, I suppose.
A call to ep_alloc(0) was the culprit. IMHO that should not be a
problem, as I expect it to work as malloc works, and malloc should
handle a 0 size, as stated in the C standard.
