A large value of bytes passed to memalign_check can cause an integer
overflow in _int_memalign and heap corruption. This issue can be
exposed by running tst-memalign with MALLOC_CHECK_=3.

ChangeLog:

2013-10-09  Will Newton  <will.newton@linaro.org>

	* malloc/hooks.c (memalign_check): Ensure the value of bytes
	passed to _int_memalign does not overflow.

At this point no upper bound is established on the value of 'alignment', so
the test may pass when 'alignment' is so large that right-hand side
overflows.

(also, when 'alignment' is larger than SIZE_MAX/2+1, _int_memalign enters an
infinite loop)

Thanks for noticing this. If it's ok I'd like to deal with that issue
as a separate patch though.

This is better than `bytes+1' so it should go in immediately to fix
the test regression under _MALLOC_CHECK=3.

We still need to deal with `alignment' having no upper bound.

Cheers,
Carlos.

I took that as an OK and applied the patch.

It was. Sorry for not being sufficiently explicit.

Cheers,
