The get->num_services variable is an unsigned int which is controlled by the user. The struct_size() function ensures that the size calculation does not overflow an unsigned long, however, we are saving the result to an int so the calculation can overflow. Both "len" and "get->num_services" come from the user. This check is just a sanity check to help the user and ensure they are using the API correctly. An integer overflow here is not a big deal. This has no security impact. Save the result from struct_size() type size_t to fix this integer overflow bug.
