+Subject: [PATCH] slirp: correct size computation while concatenating mbuf
+
+While reassembling incoming fragmented datagrams, 'm_cat' routine
+extends the 'mbuf' buffer, if it has insufficient room. It computes
+a wrong buffer size, which leads to overwriting adjacent heap buffer
+area. Correct this size computation in m_cat.
