Fixed undefined behavior in CNetFulfilledRequestManager::RemoveAllFulfilledRequests() caused by improper iterator usage.

Problem

The function contained this problematic code:

if (it != mapFulfilledRequests.end()) {
    mapFulfilledRequests.erase(it++);  // ❌ Undefined behavior
}

The post-increment operator it++ increments the iterator after passing it to erase(), which causes undefined behavior since:

  1. erase() invalidates the iterator
  2. The post-increment operation tries to use the invalidated iterator
  3. This can lead to crashes or memory corruption

Solution

Changed to the correct pattern:

if (it != mapFulfilledRequests.end()) {
    mapFulfilledRequests.erase(it);  // ✅ Safe and correct
}

Since this function only removes a single element (not iterating in a loop), the post-increment is unnecessary and dangerous.

Impact

  • Safety: Eliminates potential crashes in the network request fulfillment system
  • Scope: Affects tracking of fulfilled requests from peers (DSQUEUE, DSVIN, etc.)
  • Risk: Low-impact fix with no functional changes to behavior

This is a minimal but important fix that ensures the Dash network layer operates safely without iterator-related undefined behavior.
