From 3d6460edeee21d7d790ec570d0887bed1f4366dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Stenberg Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2016 12:56:02 +0200 Subject: krb5: avoid realloc(0) If the requested size is zero, bail out with error instead of doing a realloc() that would cause a double-free: realloc(0) acts as a free() and then there's a second free in the cleanup path.
