+From aa106b29a6a8a1b0df9e334704292cbc32f2d44e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

+Subject: [PATCH] malloc/nano-malloc: correctly check for out-of-bounds
+ allocation reqs
+
+The overflow check in mEMALIGn erroneously checks for INT_MAX,
+albeit the input parameter is size_t. Fix this to check for
+__SIZE_MAX__ instead. Also, it misses to check the req against
+adding the alignment before calling mALLOc.
+
+While at it, add out-of-bounds checks to pvALLOc, nano_memalign,
+nano_valloc, and Cygwin's (unused) dlpvalloc.
