[PATCH 3/5] Xephyr: integer overflow in ephyrHostGLXGetStringFromServer()

[Alan Coopersmith]

reply.length & reply.size are CARD32s and need to be bounds checked before
multiplying or adding to come up with the total size to allocate, to avoid
integer overflow leading to underallocation and writing data from the
network past the end of the allocated buffer.
