            Bug ID: 198377
           Summary: libc: Invalid size check in load_msgcat()
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc

Fix

According to coverity 1193663, the following check always yields a false
result:


405    if (st.st_size > SIZE_T_MAX) {
406        _close(fd);
407        SAVEFAIL(name, lang, EFBIG);
408        NLRETERR(EFBIG);
409    }
_____

result_independent_of_operands: st.st_size > 18446744073709551615ULL is always
false regardless of the values of its operands. This occurs as the logical
operand of if.


We can workaround this by excluding also SIZE_T_MAX but we should also exclude
negative values since that would indicate an overflow.
