DEX: read_uleb128_bounded(), fix buffer-overflow#1949
Merged
Conversation
This allows us to read ULEB128 encoded values close to the end of a buffer. This change fixes a heap-buffer-overflow in `load_encoded_method()`, found by fuzzing. In that method, the `fits_in_dex()` check is not sufficient, as each `uint32_t` can occupy up to 5 bytes in ULEB128 encoding. I did not replace all uses of `read_uleb128()` in `dex.c`, but follow-up changes should probably do that.

This is a follow-up to PR VirusTotal#1949, replacing all remaingin uses of `read_uleb128()` in `dex.c`. It also fixes another heap-buffer-overflow, again found by fuzzing. Tested with `test-dex.c`
