[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS | gnutls_buffer_append_data: avoid use-after-free in the callers (!1399)

[Read-only notification of GnuTLS library development activities]

Anderson Sasaki started a new discussion on lib/str.c: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/merge_requests/1399#note_525345767

The idea here is to always trigger the reallocation even when it wouldn't be necessary, right?
