When using a system with no malloc_usable_size(), zmalloc_size() assumed that the heap allocator always returns blocks that are long-padded. This may not always be the case, and will result with zmalloc_size() returning a size that is bigger than allocated. At least in one case this leads to out of bound write, process crash and a potential security vulnerability. Effectively this does not affect the vast majority of users, who use jemalloc or glibc. This problem along with a (different) fix was reported by Drew DeVault.
