Subject: [PATCH] Fix flexible array buffer overflow

This is kind of a DoS, possibly flexible array in the protocol
causes the network size check to be ignored due to integer overflows.

The size of flexible array is computed as (message_end - position),
then this size is added to the number of bytes before the array and
this number is used to check if we overflow initial message.

An example is:

message {
        uint32 dummy[2];
        uint8 data[] @end;
    } LenMessage;

which generated this (simplified remove useless code) code:

{ /* data */
        data__nelements = message_end - (start + 8);

data__nw_size = data__nelements;
    }

nw_size = 8 + data__nw_size;

/* Check if message fits in reported side */
    if (nw_size > (uintptr_t) (message_end - start)) {
        return NULL;
    }

Following code:
- data__nelements == message_end - (start + 8)
- data__nw_size == data__nelements == message_end - (start + 8)
- nw_size == 8 + data__nw_size == 8 + message_end - (start + 8) ==
  8 + message_end - start - 8 == message_end -start
- the check for overflow is (nw_size > (message_end - start)) but
  nw_size == message_end - start so the check is doing
  ((message_end - start) > (message_end - start)) which is always false.

If message_end - start < 8 then data__nelements (number of element
on the array above) computation generate an integer underflow that
later create a buffer overflow.

Add a check to make sure that the array starts before the message ends
to avoid the overflow.
