Hi there,
Has anyone come across an issue where Nessus security scan software crashes the slpd service when running a scan? The crash is here,
/** Free an SLPBuffer.
 *
 * This routine releases the memory for a previously allocated 
 * @c SLPBuffer object.
 *
 * @param[in] buf The SLPBuffer to be freed.
 */
void SLPBufferFree(SLPBuffer buf)
{
    xfree(buf);
}
It looks like an attempt to free an already freed buffer. was wondering if there is already a fix for this.

Thanks,Sam.
