FinishWalRecovery() copied the valid part of the last WAL block into a palloc'd buffer, and the code in StartupXLOG() copied it to the WAL buffer. But the memcpy in StartupXLOG() copied a full 8kB block, not just the valid part, i.e. it copied from beyond the end of the buffer. The invalid part was cleared immediately afterwards, so as long as the memory was allocated and didn't segfault, it didn't do any harm, but it can definitely segfault.
