Subject: [PATCH] Fix CVE-2022-24795 (from brianmario/yajl-ruby)

The buffer reallocation could cause heap corruption because of `need`
overflow for large inputs. In addition, there's a possible infinite loop
in case `need` reaches zero.

The fix is to `abort()` if the loop ends with lower value of `need` than
when it started.
