Subject: [PATCH] sed: handle very long input lines with R (tiny change)

It is possible to trigger an out of bounds memory access when
using the sed command R with an input file containing very long
lines.

The problem is that the line length of parsed file is returned as
a size_t by ck_getdelim, but temporarily stored in an int and
then converted back into a size_t. On systems like amd64, on which
this problem can be triggered, size_t and int have different sizes.

If the input line is longer than 2 GB (which is parseable on amd64
or other 64 bit systems), this means that the temporarily stored
int turns negative. Converting the negative int back into a size_t
will lead to an excessively large size_t, as the conversion leads to
a lot of leading 1 bits.

Eventually ck_fwrite is called with this huge size_t which in turn
will lead to an out of bounds access on amd64 systems -- after all
the parsed text was just a bit above 2 GB, not near SIZE_MAX.

You can trigger this issue with GNU sed on OpenBSD like this:

$ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=2049 | tr '\0' e > long.txt
$ sed Rlong.txt /etc/fstab
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I was unable to trigger the bug on a Linux system with glibc due to
a bug in glibc's fwrite implementation -- it leads to a short write
and sed treats that correctly as an error.

* sed/execute.c (execute_program) [case 'R']: Declare result
to be of type size_t, not int.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
