There is one long-standing problem in CRT realloc wrapper, which will
cause the obvious buffer overflow issue when re-allocating one bigger
memory block:
void *realloc (void *ptr, size_t size)
{
//
// BUG: hardcode OldSize == size! We have no any knowledge about
// memory size of original pointer ptr.
//
return ReallocatePool ((UINTN) size, (UINTN) size, ptr);
}
This patch introduces one extra header to record the memory buffer size
information when allocating memory block from malloc routine, and re-wrap
the realloc() and free() routines to remove this BUG.
