Security threat due to insecure functions "malloc" used in lecore.m file.

[Priya1794]

Hi,

I am getting security threat in below code for lecore.m class https://github.com/LogentriesCommunity/le_ios/blob/master/lelib/lecore.m

occurrences of "malloc()" method which is an insecure function acc to security tool.

char local_buffer = malloc(length + 1);*

Below is the issue description and reference links from security team.

Issue description : Use of insecure functions/potential dangerous functions
Reference link: https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/676.html
This would explain why SECURITY TEAM is recommending the change of these functions.

Please provide solution for this as soon as possible as it is very urgent.
