[vlc-devel] [PATCH] modules/services_discovery/sap.c: avoid out-of-bounds write

After OpenDemux reads data using stream_Read(), it writes a '\0' to
the buffer after the newly-read data, but if the stream returned exactly
i_read_max bytes, this '\0' will end up just past the end of the allocated
psz_sdp array (see the call to realloc at the beginning of the loop).
Adjust the realloc call to allocate this one extra byte.
