    CVE-2016-4429: sunrpc: Do not use alloca in clntudp_call [BZ #20112]

    The call is technically in a loop, and under certain circumstances
    (which are quite difficult to reproduce in a test case), alloca
    can be invoked repeatedly during a single call to clntudp_call.
    As a result, the available stack space can be exhausted (even
    though individual alloca sizes are bounded implicitly by what
    can fit into a UDP packet, as a side effect of the earlier
    successful send operation).

    (cherry picked from commit bc779a1a5b3035133024b21e2f339fe4219fb11c)
