Subject: [PATCH] fserve: validate num_chars against encoding array size in
fs_read_glyphs
FS_QueryXExtents16 causes us to allocate the encoding[] array, later
during the FS_QueryXBitmaps16 reply handling we fill in that array.
There is no verification that the allocation is large enough, a
malicious font server could send us a small numExtents and a
large num_chars to force underallocation and OOB read/rwrite.
A regression test is included that constructs a crafted
FS_QueryXBitmaps16 reply with num_chars > num_encoding and verifies
the library rejects it.
