Stateless and I stumbled upon this issue while discussing the semantics of read, accepting a size_t but only being able to return ssize_t, effectively lacking the ability to report successful reads > SSIZE_MAX. The discussion went along and we came to the topic of input-based memory allocations. Basically, it was possible for the argument to a memory-allocation-function to overflow, leading to a segfault later. The OpenBSD-guys came up with the ingenious reallocarray-function, and I implemented it as ereallocarray, which automatically returns on error. Read more about it here[0]. A simple testcase is this (courtesy to stateless): $ sbase-strings -n (2^(32|64) / 4) This will segfault before this patch and properly return an OOM- situation afterwards (thanks to the overflow-check in reallocarray).
