Not very good. 

But are canaries used at all? In my understanding without
DEBUG_INTENSE_CANARY_CHECKS they are never checked and it's unset by
default.

You can try with 
setenv WIRESHARK_DEBUG_SE_NO_CANARY
but first replace the padding with the right value: in emem.c
@@ -524,7 +467,7 @@
                 if (use_canary)
                        pad = emem_canary_pad(size);
                 else
-                       pad = 8;
+                       pad = ((8 - (size & 0x7)) & 0x7);

                size += pad;
