Indeed. The calculation brings integer overflow of 32 bit storage. Thanks
for your care and proposal of the patch. I agree with the intension of
patch, however I have a nitpicking that the consume_bytes member is
defined as 'int', not 'unsigned int' in your commit comment.
The member has value returned from the call of 'fill_message()'[1] for the
length of byte messages in buffer to process, or for error code. The
error code is checked immediately. The range of value is equal to
or less than 3 when reaching the calculation, thus it should be less than
16777.
Regardless of the type of 'int' or 'unsigned int', this patch can fix
the issued problem. Feel free to add my tag when you post second version
with comment fix.
