Subject: [PATCH] Cap string length at INT_MAX.
Several issues occur if a string is longer than INT_MAX:
- The function json_object_get_string_len returns the length of a string
as int. If the string is longer than INT_MAX, the result would be
negative.
- That in turn would lead to possible out of boundary access when
comparing these strings with memcmp and the returned length as done in
json_object_equal.
- If json_escape_str is called with such strings, out of boundary
accesses can occur due to internal int handling (also fixed).
- The string cannot be printed out due to printbuffer limits at
INT_MAX (which is still true after this commit).
Such huge strings can only be inserted through API calls at this point
because input files are capped at INT_MAX anyway.
Due to huge amount of RAM needed to reproduce these issues I have not
added test cases.
