[Pkg-vsquare-devel] Bug#572261: slirpvde: Massive memory leak

[Adrian Irving-Beer]

Package: vde2
Version: 2.2.3-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch

slirpvde leaks over 1600 bytes per packet received, even tiny ones
like pings.  This makes it practically unusable for a production
system in the current state.

I've attached a patch to fix the leak.
