libtls: missing length checks before BIO_new_mem_buf()
> I think there are three places (one in tls_keypair_load_cert() and
> two in tls_signer_add_keypair_mem()) where the size passed to
> BIO_new_mem_buf() could in principle be larger than INT_MAX. This can
> overflow to be negative or be truncated to remain positive. In the first
> case we'd have no relevant errno set.

> We should fix that at least by adding errors for length > INT_MAX
> before BIO_new_mem_buf(), and perhaps we should also consider
> not loading files of such preposterous size in the first place.
