FS#1224 - [toxcore] Memory leak - Remote DDoS vunerability

Description:

A memory leak bug was discovered in Toxcore that can be triggered remotely to exhaust one’s system memory, resulting in a denial of service attack... As a general reminder, if you are still using irungentoo’s toxcore, we strongly encourage you to switch to using TokTok c-toxcore instead as it’s a lot more actively developed and maintained. In fact, irungentoo’s toxcore is neither being developed nor maintained for some time now, aside from merging only the most critical fixes from TokTok c-toxcore from time to time, missing all other important fixes.

Additional info:
* package version(s): < 2.8
