openssh unix dev - Nov 2002 - [Bug 425] New: Integer overflow in mm_zalloc

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425

           Summary: Integer overflow in mm_zalloc
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.5p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Miscellaneous
        AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: siw at goneko.de


3.5p1 is better than 3.4p1, but still not perfect (on platforms where
size_t is larger than u_int).  This patch should fix it, although
I can't test it:
